Prevent Blindness to Kick Off Virtual Persons of Vision Award Event Honoring VSP Global

Prevent Blindness announced that the 2020 Persons of Vision Award ceremony, honoring VSP Global, will be held through a series of virtual celebrations in September.

The Prevent Blindness Persons of Vision Award recognizes an individual, corporation and/or organization whose inspired outlook champions healthy vision and its importance for a healthy life. VSP Global was selected as the recipient of the Persons of Vision Award for its 65-year commitment to a mission of helping people see, as well as its long-term support and partnership with Prevent Blindness.

The original Persons of Vision Award event was scheduled to take place in March of 2020, in conjunction with Vision Expo East, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In lieu of the in-person gala, Prevent Blindness will host a variety of online activities all month long, beginning September 1. Activities will include an online auction throughout the month, with proceeds going to support Prevent Blindness. More details may be found at: http://benefitbidding.com/personofvision.

“At Prevent Blindness, we are thrilled about using this new format to recognize VSP Global, and all their dedicated employees for their work providing eyecare services to the public, especially to those who may not otherwise have access to quality care,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “We thank our sponsors for continuing to support Prevent Blindness and our programs, and hope everyone will join us in making this a September to remember!”
