The Foundation Fighting Blindness is selling Braille translucent wristbands as a fundraiser. The wristband says “Our Vision is Clear” in Braille lettering. By wearing the wristband, you are demonstrating support for the millions of Americans affected by diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Uscher syndrome, and Stargardt disease. These fashionable wristbands make great gifts for you, family members, or anyone who wants to help find a cure for blindness. The wristbands cost $3.00 and are sold in lots of 10 for $30.00. There is no charge for shipping and handling. The proceeds go directly to The Foundation Fighting Blindness. For more information or to place an order, visit http://www.FightBlindness.org/wristbands.
