Eye Thrive's signature event, Spectacle, is on the books! We can't wait to celebrate with you on Friday, October 6, 2023 at the distinctive Palladium St. Louis.

Mark your calendars and start practicing your dance moves. In addition to live music, this fun and inspiring event features delicious food, a stocked bar, and silent and live auctions.

Funds from Spectacle provide kids in St. Louis with access to Eye Thrive's essential vision services. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, contact Abbie!

Our team faced challenges like a generator on the fritz head on, going above and beyond to continue delivering our essential vision services throughout the region. In November, we:

• conducted 2,381 vision screenings.
• provided 350 eye exams.
• dispensed 370 pairs of glasses.
• delivered 174 pairs of replacements.

Delmar DivINe is now the permanent home to much of the original art from 2014's Painting for Peace in Ferguson community effort. The artwork fills the halls with color and hope! Carol Swartout Klein is the sponsor of this project and author of the book of the same name.

During 2022, Eye Thrive has provided nearly 6,000 children with comprehensive eye exams; each with their own story, their own struggles, and their own need for clear vision. Ensure every child gets the help they need and deserve by helping us reach our year-end fundraising goal.

These organizations have recently approved grants or sponsorships to support Eye Thrive!

On behalf of our kids - thank you for your generosity.
