Gift of Light Campaign

In classrooms across the region, children are struggling not because they lack ability or desire, but simply because they lack all the tools they need to succeed; their poor vision is a barrier to their learning. And now, more than ever, as children spend increased time on devices due to virtual and hybrid learning, their healthy vision is critical to their success!

Your support of the Conexus Gift of Light campaign WILL change the life of a child in your community!

For a gift of $10, Conexus can provide a child a VisioCheck screening! For a gift of $50, Conexus can provide glasses for a child! For a gift of $150, Conexus can provide screening for an entire classroom! For a gift of $500, Conexus can provide an entire day of Mobile Vision Clinic services!

This holiday season, we hope you consider making a charitable donation to bring the gift of healthy vision to a child!

We are grateful for our 2023 Richmond & Charlottesville Gift of Light Partners!

​Why YOUR Support Matters!

Healthy vision is CRITICAL to a child’s success in the classroom and yet for THOUSANDS of children across the Commonwealth, they do not even know they have a vision issue significant enough to impact their ability to learn.

In the last 10 years, Conexus has screened over 455,000 children across the Commonwealth and more than 142,000 were referred for additional care. In addition, over 16,500 FREE eye exams have been provided to students in Richmond, Petersburg, Chesterfield, Charlottesville and Cumberland schools with over 12,600 pairs of glasses being prescribed and dispensed to students that might otherwise have gone without healthy vision.

This school year, Conexus is positioned to provide nearly 90,000 VisioCheck screenings and more than 3,000 Mobile Clinic eye exams. But we need YOUR help! Join us through a Gift of Light donation and change the life of a child this holiday season.
