20/200 Fellowship, Inc.

•Every seven minutes someone in America will become blind or visually impaired. (Common Senses, Inc. – Blind Awareness.)

•Currently, more than 1 million Americans are blind and another 2.4 million suffer some vision impairment. (National Eye Institute)

•80 million Americans suffer from potentially blinding eye diseases. (http://whyfiles.org/003eye/statistics.html)

•Disturbingly, the number of Americans with age-related eye disease and the vision impairment that results is expected to double over the next three decades. (Prevent Blindness America)

•People do not go blind by the millions, they go blind one by one.

Are you or someone you love at risk?

You can give your time! The Fellowship needs volunteers, both blind and sighted, to help those adjusting to blindness learn new methods of performing everyday tasks, to help with our after school and summer children’s programming and to assist with a myriad of office tasks. We’ll provide the training. For more information, contact us at volunteer@20-200fellowship.org.

You can make a tax-deductible financial contribution! Specifically, a donation of $25 gives one person an individual demonstration of available low-vision aids. When you give $100, you provide one person with introductory technology skills. Your donation of $250 provides one child with after school or summer educational and mobility training activities. For more information, contact us at amy@20-200fellowship.org.
