In 2016 OC Guide Dogs gathered a team of walkers for the Foundation Fighting Blindness Vision Walk. It was held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.
The Foundation Fighting Blindness was established in 1971 by a passionate group of families driven to find treatments and cures for inherited retinal diseases that were affecting their loved ones. At that time, little was known about these blinding retinal degenerative diseases.
Today, the Foundation Fighting Blindness is the world’s leading private funder of retinal disease research. That funding has been a driving force behind the progress toward cures, including the identification of more than 270 genes linked to retinal disease, and the launch of over 40 clinical trials for potential treatments.
OC Guide Dogs also manned a booth with information about our organization.
