Tomoka Eye donates to CVI

Tomoka Eye Foundation, founded by Tomoka Eye Associates, has announced that they have donated $20,000 to the Center for the Visually Impaired. The check was presented May 25 at the CVI office in Daytona Beach.

The donation is a result of the foundation’s second-annual Tea and Biscuits fundraiser in April at Shores Resort and Spa. Funds from the event also went to guide dog support for the visually impaired.

“We are ecstatic that we were able to double our donation this year,” said Bill Watson, Tomoka Eye Foundation president.

Tomoka Eye Foundation is a 501(c)3 foundation created to help support local vision-impaired services. Call Tomoka Eye Associates at 672-4244 or visit tomokaeye.com.
