Hello Utah and to everyone else around the US, and the world for that matter!
Today I am excited that The 12for12k Challenge announced that it is supporting a charity called Eye Care For Kids throughout the month of July 2009.
Eye Care For Kids is located right here in Salt Lake City, Utah!
Every childhood dream begins with a vision. Eye Care For Kids makes sure the vision can happen.
Eye Care for Kids has provided humanitarian aid to more than 20,000 children since 2001. Their program helps visually impaired kids from poor and low-income families get the treatment they so desperately need.
Just $25.00 will provide one child with an eye examination and a free pair of glasses.
Special attention to all fellow Utah bloggers, Facebook users and Twitterers, I am reaching out to you to help spread the word here in our state during July… and beyond.
This is an excellent organization, and I am so impressed with them every time I visit their offices and meet with founder Joseph Carbone.
I was lucky enough to meet up with Joseph a few months back, and was thrilled to be able to update their website, and start Eye Care For Kids on a social media path as well.
Wont you help me get the word out this month and make July a great month both for Eye Care For Kids and The 12for12k Challenge?
I have been working with Danny Brown (@DannyBrown on Twitter) and The 12for12k Challenge since it launched 6 months ago. All I can say is the team at 12for12k is amazing, and it is fun to watch this organization of volunteers and supporters grow each and every month. Won’t you join us too?
Please contact me if you have any questions, and let me know if you would like one of our 12for12k avatars to show your support. And please be sure to follow @EyeCare4Kids on Twitter!
