Celebrating Over a Decade of Partnership with Friends for Sight!

For more than 10 years, Friends for Sight has partnered with the Salt Lake Education Foundation to bring free, high-quality vision care to students across our district. Together, we’ve opened full-service vision clinics at the Glendale and Liberty Community Learning Centers, as well as Parkview Elementary—ensuring that students have the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom.

Yesterday, their incredible team hosted a mini-mobile clinic at Rose Park Elementary, where nearly 30 students received comprehensive eye exams between 9:00 AM and noon.

The response from families and students was so strong that we’re already planning a second event to meet the demand!

We are so grateful for Friends for Sight and their unwavering commitment to student health, equity, and access. When we work together, we make a real difference.
