​When the original idea of creating the RB EYE Foundation came up back in 2011, it was a result of a personal journey my children experienced. Not finding suitable medical answers locally, we traveled very significant distances to seek a diagnosis for some serious vision challenges. Fortunately, we found those answers and, through our Foundation, began the process of helping other families have access to similar diagnostic and treatment options for pediatric eye disorders.

​

Fast forward more than a decade and – surrounded by a very generous Aggie family and the 12th man – we expanded the effort in a way that is having a meaningful and positive impact on the Aggie Guide and Service Dog Program at Texas A&M University by donating a total of $215,000 in summer 2024 through the Texas A&M Foundation. 

 

While this all started as a very private journey for my children, it is clear the RB EYE Foundation efforts can be more impactful by including friends and supporters.  By raising funds through the RB EYE Foundation, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who are challenged by significant vision loss.

 

This effort is important to me and I am so grateful to those who have made the decision to make it important to them as well. Together, we can make a difference. On behalf of everyone involved in the RB EYE Foundation, thank you for your support now and in the future.
