Welcome to Sit 4 Sight ~ A Fundraiser
Ensight is…
A group of low-vision rehabilitation centers providing services for the blind and visually impaired in Colorado. Our focus is to provide individuals with aid, support and assistance necessary to achieve optimal health, safety, and independence.
Visual impairment affects individuals of all ages, races, gender and socio-economic status. As a result, Ensight has specific programs for the elderly, children, disabled, economically disadvantaged and rural Colorado residents. Even in a faulting economy Ensight has continued to support the self-sufficiency of individuals with low-vision. We help individuals remain independent, provide preventative care, and focus on access to low-vision services. Ensight is committed to providing services to everyone, turning no one away because of an inability to pay.
The ultimate goal of Ensight is to empower each individual, regardless of their vision-loss, to live healthy, safe, and independent lives. We can achieve this through fulfilling our mission of providing our clients with the opportunity to enhance their life skills and self-confidence in a safe environment through adaptive technology and training.

When: September 18, 2010

Visual impairment does not discriminate. It can affect all types of individuals regardless of their age, gender, race, or socio-economic status. As a result, Ensight has specific programs designed to assist and educate the numerous types of people with visual impairment. Who are these individuals? A Grandmother who cannot see the faces of her grandchildren or read a recipe, a mom who cannot drive her children to school or check their homework, A child who should have the same opportunities as his or her sighted classmates.
The funds will be used to provide education and services to individuals living with the struggles of vision loss. The Sit 4 Sight fundraiser is a pledge based fundraiser that allows individuals to pledge seats in Moby Arena for a particular team to sit in.

Sight Interviews Happening Now
About the sight interviews; Lions members meet the third Thursday of every month at First United Methodist Church. The church is located on the SW corner of Elizabeth and Stover. Approximately 25 to 30 applicants are interviewed. Those who qualify are given vouchers redeemable at optometrists in town. Lions members also provide qualified participants with vouchers for new eyeglasses which are purchased by the Lions Club from Lenscrafters.
The practitioners who participate in our sight program give us a special rate for their services. Our time for these interviews on the given Thursday is 1:30 to 3pm. Please feel free to come visit.
