With your own Eyes Wide Open, you can help the blind and visually impaired. If you enjoy the feeling you get while watching that little white ball, you can feel even better knowing that your game will help a person who is blind or visually impaired.
The Topeka Lions Foundation and the Kansas Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (KABVI) have teamed up again for the 2nd Annual Eyes Wide Open Golf Classic at Cypress Ridge Golf Course on Monday, July 20, with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start. In case of a rainout, the course is reserved for the Monday following as a backup. Golf registration is $60 per person and includes refreshments at check-in, greens fee, golf cart, free driving range balls, three drink tickets, and dinner afterwards at the awards presentation. Check in starts at 11:00 a.m. Participants can enjoy testing their skill in the “Monster Short-Shot” contest, which offers lots of fun for a great cause.
Both the Topeka Lions Foundation and KABVI share a common mission to help the blind and visually impaired, with services and adaptive technology to increase the quality of life and health for persons with eye diseases or blindness. Funds generated from this event will help to benefit the more than 40,000 persons in Kansas with significant visual disabilities or blindness.
Participating golfers are encouraged to bring old prescription eyeglasses and prescription and non-prescription sunglasses to the EWO Golf Classic, to be recycled for use in 3rd world countries. Both the Lions Foundation and KABVI are 501(c) (3) organizations, and a large portion of one’s entry fee is tax deductible. Download a registration form at www.kabvi.com or www.vocshop.com/lions. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
