Von Miller – Von’s Vision
Every year 5,000 low-income 1st grade students enter the Denver Public School System without ever seeing an eye doctor. More than 1,900 of them need glasses. The Denver Public School System currently has more than 27,000 low-income students who need some level of vision correction. Von’s Vision was formed on these statistics in mind.
Von’s Vision provides both one-day and year-round support programs.
Von’s Vision Day has two parts. First, Von’s Vision partners with national and regional eye wear retailers to provide a city-wide vision day for low-income Denver children. Each child receives a free screening, and if needed, free eye exams and corrective eye wear. After the prescription glasses have been cut, Von hosts a Reveal Party where children are fitted for their glasses, personally delivered by Von.
“Von’s Vision – All Year Long” was launched in 2015 to provide free corrective eye wear to Denver-area children and students. In 2015, “Von’s Vision – All Year Long” will help more than 2,000 low-income Denver-area children and students.
Additionally, Miller raises funds for the organization throughout the year with events like “Celebrity Waiter,” “Celebrity Steak Out” and “Celebrity Grand Prix.”
