More Light the Night for Sight Photos
Light the Night for Sight walkathon on May 18th was a great success! Approximately 600 walkers and guests enjoyed the zoo under clear Florida skies! Endeavors for 2007 set new records (again!) with online contributions exceeding $15,000 and the total dollars raised……….
The success of this event would not have been possible without all the sponsors, teams, individual walkers, donors and volunteers. It was your hard work and enthusiasm that made this all possible!!
A special thanks to our top 2 teams: ALCON raised $19,270.44 and AAA raised $6,249.54. Congratulations to the entire staff at Alcon, led by Gary Woodrell and Greg Thompson and to all those at AAA under the leadership of Kevin Bakewell, Rhonda Mendoza and the many individual team leaders for a job well done.
