Glaucoma is the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness and affects an estimated 80 million people, with a projected increase to 112 million by 2040. The Glaucoma Foundation is leading the fight against the disease by promoting early diagnosis and funding vital research to identify and develop novel approaches to preserve visual function and reverse blindness caused by glaucoma.
“It was important to us to mark this company milestone by making a difference. More than one million people per year are diagnosed with glaucoma. The Glaucoma Foundation’s mission to preserve and restore vision aligns strongly with our mission to provide visibility in networks,” said Stuart Wilson, CEO of Endace.
“At Endace, we love to overcome difficult challenges, so helping The Glaucoma Foundation address the significant challenges of this debilitating condition feels like a very worthwhile project to support,” Wilson said.
“Endace’s generous donation to the second annual TGF Art Challenge will provide patients with help for today and hope for the future,” said Elena Sturman, President and CEO of The Glaucoma Foundation. “The Art Challenge acknowledges the wonders of vision and is key to our mission of identifying and funding innovative sight-saving research. We are thrilled to have Endace’s confidence and their wonderful boost to our initiative to engage artists and art lovers in the preservation of vision.”
About the Art Challenge
Artists (amateurs and professionals alike) enter The Glaucoma Foundation Art Challenge by submitting a digital image of their original work. Every artist will be given a ‘challenge page’ where, at first, their work will appear blurry and pixelated. Your donation can bring their work into focus, and every gift made will be matched, dollar for dollar.
The matching gift opportunity makes this an ideal time to contribute to the search for a cure. Endace encourages its friends, family, customers, and partners to support The Glaucoma Foundation’s efforts now through the end of the Art Challenge on September 15! Visit the TGF Art Challenge page of the Foundation’s website, bring an artist’s work into focus, and know that your gift will double in its impact.
