Volunteers will assist in setting up for the event, manning booths, helping with a few kids activities, guiding visually impaired participants, or managing registration. This 5K Walk is the Foundation Fighting Blindness' signature event and it is a way for those suffering with a retinal degenerative disease to celebrate their fundraising success with friends and family as each step is getting us closer to finding a cure. Your help will allow the event to run smoothly and efficiently so that we can focus on celebrating on our fight towards blindness. We cannot do it without your help. Thank you in advance!

Mission Statement
The urgent mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, Inc. is to drive the research that will provide preventions, treatments and cures for people affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP), macular degeneration, Usher syndrome, and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases.
Description
Foundation Fighting Blindness is a national non-profit organization driving the research that will lead to preventions, treatments and cures for retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases that affect more than 10 million Americans. Since 1971, the Foundation has raised more than $500 million as the leading non-governmental funder of retinal research. Breakthrough Foundation-funded studies using gene therapy have restored significant vision in children and young adults who were previously blind, paving the way for additional clinical trials to treat a variety of retinal degenerative diseases. With a coveted four-star rating from Charity Navigator, the Foundation also has nearly 50 chapters that provide support, information and resources to affected individuals and their families in communities across the country.
