Your Support Makes A Difference!

The board of directors of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness is pleased to report that during our fiscal 1998-1999 nearly 87 cents of each dollar received went directly to maintaining our programs to prevent needless blindness and sight-threatening eye disease. Our net bottom line (revenues/expenses) will vary from year to year due to the timing and receipt of known bequests. The ISPB does not receive or request funds from the government or the United Way.

The ISPB would like to thank the Illinois ophthalmologists and optometrists for their continued volunteer assistance and financial support as professional members.

As we enter our 84th year we give thanks to all our friends who so generously make it possible for us to continue our important work in Illinois.
