Pacific Eye is seeking the community’s help in selecting worthy 501(c)(3) organizations to participate in their Pacific Eye Gives Back Challenge this fall. The challenge is designed to highlight the outstanding organizations that make positive change visible on the Central Coast. Community members and local non-profit representatives can nominate their charity of choice before the submission deadline on October 28th.

Nominations are being accepted through Pacific Eye’s website. Visit www.paceyemd.com/nominate-your-charity and simply fill out the form letting us know about your favorite Central Coast non-profit organization.

Pacific Eye’s team of physicians will review the nominations and select 10 organizations to move on to the voting round. Beginning in November, the general public can vote for their favorite non-profit once each day through Thanksgiving Day via Pacific Eye’s website. The organizations with the most votes will receive donations totaling $10,000, awarded in December.

For more information, visit Pacific Eye’s website (www.PacEyeMD.com) or email Amie DuMong (adumong@paceyemd.com). This is the fourth year Pacific Eye is organizing the contest. Last year, the Pacific Eye Gives Back Challenge awarded $10,000 in total between three local organizations: CASA, Food Bank of SLO County and Woods Humane Society. The community voted more than 15,000 times last fall.
