“The event was part of a $1.5 million multi-year initiative between the Tepper Foundation and Vision To Learn, the nation’s largest school-based vision care provider. Students from Matilda F. Dunston Elementary received eye exams and were given eyeglasses at no cost to them or their families.
‘More than 3 million children across the country go to school every day without the glasses they need,’ said Vision to Lean Founder Austin Beutner. ‘When children come to school hungry, we feed them. We make sure students have the books and school materials they need. Why not glasses?’”
