We are so excited to share this year's 2024 Eye Stroll for Vision is going to be even bigger and better, as we have added a couple new things this year!

First, you don't have to be in Houston to participate. That's right you can stroll with us from anywhere and support us in our mission to prevent blindness and preserve sight.

Second, we have added some fabulous incentives for fundraisers to earn along the way... stay tuned you are going to want to earn these! When you choose to become a fundraiser, you are reaching out to your network (family, friends, co-workers, etc.) to raise funds to support Prevent Blindness Texas’ mission.

The Prevent Blindness Texas Houston Eye Stroll for Vision is an event for the entire family, groups of friends, and even teams of coworkers. Create your team, join us virtually or at the Houston Zoo, and enjoy a morning stroll among the animals while raising money for crucial, sight-saving services. Zoo Walkers will wind their way through the zoo stopping to show off their costumes and learn animal vision facts. Door prizes, animal experiences, face painting, costume contests, and breakfast will be waiting at the conclusion of the walk.

“I want to thank Prevent Blindness Texas for having a program that will help senior citizens and others less fortunate or in a lower income bracket with the ability to acquire eyeglasses without cost. A lot of senior and/or lower income communities do not have vision coverage. Being able to get eyewear without a cost is a tremendous help.” Ernestine, Southeast Region 

Together, we can provide access to quality eye care and education for all!
