Prevent Blindness Wisconsin

This holiday season, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin has thousands of statewide volunteers, partners, donors, and funders to be grateful for. At our 44th Annual Celebrity Waiters Dinner in October, we had the honor of recognizing one of our incredible supporters, the Ladish Company Foundation, as this year's Visionary Partner. Please enjoy this video highlighting the Foundation's commitment to our sight-saving mission through a testimonial from Wayne Larsen, Trustee. We wish Wayne, our friends at the Ladish Company Foundation, and the rest of our fabulous supporters a joyful start to the holiday season! ????? Video Credit: iLevel Media

This past month, PBW gained a new partnership with South Milwaukee High School! We had the honor of training and certifying 12 health occupations students of America (HOSA) as certified children's vision screeners. We're grateful for this partnership and your commitment to helping protect the gift of sight in our community.

Thank you to the Ladish Co. Foundation for your continued support of Prevent Blindness Wisconsin. Thanks to your generosity, PBW has been able to provide vision screenings across the greater Milwaukee area. It’s thanks to wonderful funders like the Ladish Co. Foundation that allows us to continue our sight saving work in Wisconsin. Thank you!

Our 44th Annual Celebrity Waiters Dinner was a fantastic evening made possible through the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors who remain committed to our statewide, sight-saving mission. Please enjoy this short video clip that captures the lively energy of this event that helped us reach our $150,000 fundraising goal. We are already looking forward to next year's 45th Annual Celebrity Waiters Dinner! ???? Video Credit: Brian Mark Bishop

Thank you to the Ed and Joyce Creske Foundation for supporting PBW’s Your Amazing Eyes Program. This program shares the importance of vision health with children all across Wisconsin.

Receiving a dilated eye exam every year ensures that your eye doctor can check the entire health of the eye to check that it's healthy. For people with diabetes, this is very important because diabetes can lead to related eye diseases that can make it hard to read, drive at night, and can lead to permanent vision loss.

"Thank you to Magnify and Metro Eye for the invitation to join you at the ABLE volunteer awards luncheon & benefit. It was wonderful to be around so many kind and caring people." -Tami Garcia, PBW CEO

Thank you to the Cornerstone Foundation for your support of PBW’s sight saving Children’s Vision Program. We are very grateful for your generosity.

Last Tuesday, we hosted 200+ guests at The Grain Exchange for our 44th Annual Celebrity Waiters Dinner. Thanks to our friends at the Milwaukee Admirals, who generously sponsored the event, the evening was a success. Our partnership enables us to raise essential funds to support families in all 72 Wisconsin counties with a significant need for vision care and eye health education. We are so grateful for the astonishing difference the Milwaukee Admirals make in our community. Please enjoy these photos from the event, and best of luck to the Ads as they pursue nine consecutive wins this Saturday, November 9! Photo Credit: Kirsten Schmitt
