Project Vision Hawai‘i welcomes you to our 7th annual Eye Ball. This year, we take you on a journey to Havana, complete with blackjack, craps, and roulette tables, live entertainment, prize drawings, and more!

Project Vision Hawai‘i provides health and human services, targeting communities with access to care issues such as lack of insurance, geographic challenges, cultural barriers, and limited or no income. Our success in serving vulnerable populations comes largely because of two unique strategies: 1) we bring services directly to access-challenged communities; and 2) participants are never turned away because of their inability to pay.

Last year, Project Vision Hawai‘i accomplished great things, thanks to the generous donations from businesses and families in our community. As of recent, we:

Administered over 52,000 COVID tests and 120,000 vaccinations to vulnerable populations and service providers
Vision screened public school children throughout Hawai‘i, reaching more than 30,000 students and providing 4,000 free prescription glasses
Enrolled more than 500 residents in applying for food stamps
Provided over 180 free cataract surgeries to patients who are underinsured or uninsured
Provided over 7,000 hot, private showers to people experiencing homelessness

We would truly be grateful if you would join us at The Eye Ball.

OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE:

• Better Vision For Keiki - Vision screenings in Title I schools, along with hearing screenings coming in early 2023
