Raising funds to provide needed services for the blind
Millions of aging Americans will lose their vision from cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), having to learn what it means to live without eyesight. 2020 Vision Quest supports the Future in Sight (formerly NH Association for the Blind), an organization that helps people learn the skills of living without vision.
Funding the cost of training guide dogs
A guide dog can make the difference between an active life and isolation. Your contribution to 2020 Vision Quest helps Guide Dogs for the Blind provide dogs at no cost to those who are blind or visually impaired. In addition, they provide a lifetime of support to help care for your guide dog.
