"I sure appreciate the opportunity to make a recurring monthly donation to Prevent Blindness Texas. Giving a substantial amount of money all at once is not always easy, but that doesn't change the fact that I want to give a particular amount of money for the year. Having the donation be reoccurring ensures that I will not forget to make my monthly contribution." John McMahan, MBA, ABOC Will you join John and become a recurring donor??https://bit.ly/PBTPatrons #PreventBlindness #GivingBack #EyeHealth
