Spread the Word
Preventable blindness doesn’t need to exist. Yet, thousands of people lose their vision every year due to untreated cataracts—one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The Gift of Sight initiative exists to change that by restoring vision through life-changing cataract surgeries and raising awareness about the importance of early detection and treatment.
SPORT FOR A CAUSE
Sport for a Cause – The Gift of Sight Golf Invitational
The Gift of Sight Golf Invitational has grown into far more than a day on the fairways—it’s a celebration of camaraderie, good sportsmanship, and a united commitment to making a positive impact.
Why We Play
At the heart of this invitational is one clear mission: to raise funds that give individuals facing preventable or treatable blindness access to life-changing cataract surgeries. For those affected, these surgeries mean restored sight, renewed independence, and a brighter future.
More Than a Round of Golf
Every swing, every putt, and every shared moment on the course contributes to something bigger than the game itself. This is golf with purpose—transforming a passion for sport into a mission that brings hope and vision to those who need it most.
Join us, tee off for change, and help give the Gift of Sight.

Each swing, every putt, and every generous contribution on the day moves us closer to ending avoidable blindness.
