The Circle of Light Photo Project, hosted by the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank, is an annual art exhibit of photographs taken by people whose sight was restored through cornea transplants. Cornea transplant recipients take photos of things they are grateful to see after receiving the gift of sight from an eye tissue donor. The exhibit not only educates the public about the impact eye donation has on the lives of our people in our communities, but it also helps support your eye bank's mission of fulfilling the wishes of eye donors and their families to help another overcome blindness.
About the 2020 Tenth Anniversary Exhibit
We were looking forward to celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Circle of Light Photo Project with our friends and supporters at the end of the summer. Sadly, we won't be able to do that in person, given the uncertainty of gatherings these days. Nonetheless, the project's message of the impact eye tissue donation and transplantation has on our communities is vital to our mission.
Join us online the week of September 7 – 12 for the 2020 Circle of Light Photo Project. You can participate right from wherever you are! This year we will feature new photos ONLINE, as well as many photos from past exhibits. You will be able to order prints of the photos or have them imprinted on a variety of merchandise.
All proceeds will benefit the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank's sight-saving mission. Get more information and sign up for email updates at https://corneas.org/2020colpp or follow us on Facebook.
Your Support Matters
COVID-19 affected everyone and everything. RMLEB was no exception. With elective surgeries on hold, the eye bank scaled back to a minimum crew to provide corneas for emergency cases. RMLEB's dedication to its mission and its employees kept everyone going. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
