Pacific Eye would like to donate $10,000 to local non-profit organizations through its seventh annual Pacific Eye Gives Back Challenge. The challenge is all about honoring the exceptional organizations that make a positive impact on the Central Coast.
After a record number of nominations received from community members (over 1,200!), the following 10 organizations were selected by Pacific Eye to move on to the voting round of this year’s contest:
- Bikers Against Child Abuse (Atascadero Chapter)
- Captive Hearts
- CASA of San Luis Obispo County
- Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens
- Family Care Network
- Morro Bay Art Association
- Parents for Joy
- Seneca Family of Agencies (Atascadero Chapter)
- The Center for Family Strengthening
- The Wellness Kitchen
Community members can vote for their charity of choice one of three ways starting Monday, October 29 through Thanksgiving Day, November 22:
- Visit PaceEyeMD.com
- Visit Facebook.com/PacEyeMD
- Or, visit any Pacific Eye office on the Central Coast and fill out a written ballot at the front desk.
Participants may vote once per day for the duration of the contest. The organization with the most votes will receive a $5,000 donation; second place will receive $2,250; third place will receive $1,000. Pacific Eye will donate $250 to each of the remaining organizations in the contest.
By year-end, Pacific Eye will have donated $65,000 to local non-profits throughout San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara counties since the inaugural contest in 2012. For additional information, visit Pacific Eye’s website or email Rob Thielscher at [email protected].
