$125,000 to Optometry Giving Sight
A joint effort by CooperVision and its employees raised a $125,000 donation for Optometry Giving Sight in support of the 2015 World Sight Day Challenge. This marks the fourth consecutive year that employees have organized creative fundraisers, with matching funds pledged by The Cooper Companies. More than twenty CooperVision sites worldwide generated funds through activities that included a 5 Km walk/run, family carnival, “Celebrate Vision” month, t-shirt sales, a barbeque and more. CooperVision also generates additional funds for the organization through industry initiatives. These include offering contact lens patients the opportunity to donate eligible rebates to the cause, which itself has produced close to $300,000 in funding to date.
