Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) March 05, 2013 - Visual Impact Now announced today that their 2013 annual eye clinic event will take place from March 18-22, 2013. For one week, Visual Impact Now, along with One Sight, LensCrafters, Target, Oliver Peoples, Sunglass Hut, and Oakley will service over 1,000 in need LAUSD children with eye exams, complimentary designer eyeglass frames, and scratch-proof polycarbonate lenses. The clinic will take place at 700 State Drive in downtown Los Angeles, next to the LA Science Center with the STARZ Network as head sponsor for the event.

Visual Impact Now, founded by actress Ellen Hollman [Spartacus: War of the Damned, STARZ] is an official 501-c3 organization launched with the goal in mind that every child deserves the gift of sight. The organization has served as a fundraising and awareness arm for their partners, One Sight, providing free eye exams and glasses to children and families unable to afford it. This includes LA School District 1&2, 6&7, and the Boys and Girls Club of Hollywood. In addition to the clinic, Visual Impact Now has been the key non-profit for events such as the Golden Globes Style Lounge, Coachella, LA Fashion Week, and the Sundance Film Festival, as well as numerous holiday, fundraising, and awareness events.

CEO Ellen Hollman shares, "To give a child the ability to see the leaves on a tree, their mother from the playground, or the chalkboard at school is a gift that will change their life forever- it is a gift that brightens their world and an experience that your participation can make possible through our eye clinic."

Visual Impact Now has also launched a fundraising campaign to help fund their annual event exclusively on Fundly.com - which will run until Sunday March 17, 2013. The LA Eye Clinic fundraising campaign hopes to raise $15,000.00 to be used for this year's clinic. Family and friends are being encouraged to donate electronically. There are five levels of sponsorship: $25.00 enables a child to receive a standard eye exam, $40.00 enables a child to receive an eye exam and a pair of glasses, $120.00 provides three children with exams and glasses, $200.00 provides buses for 60 students to reach the clinic, and $500.00 provides buses for 150 students to reach the clinic.
