Celebrating Henderson Vision Centre as the Second Highest Practice for the 2025 World Sight Day Challenge.
For the team at Henderson Vision Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, supporting Optometry Giving Sight isn’t a new initiative; it’s simply part of who they are. The practice’s connection to OGS predates its current practitioners, rooted in the longstanding commitment of Dr. Scott Mundle, and carried forward with enthusiasm by the colleagues who followed.
That continuity paid off in a big way with Henderson Vision Centre being among the top practices for the past several years. In 2025, they ranked as the #2 highest fundraising practice in all of Canada and the United States for the World Sight Day Challenge — raising a remarkable $10,318.
Dr. Melina Chow, who joined the practice and inherited that giving spirit, puts it simply:
“We’ve been supporting OGS since before I joined the practice. Dr. Scott Mundle was very involved with OGS, and we have continued to support them. The work OGS does goes beyond helping people who live in developing countries; they train people there as well and develop continuity of care within those communities. And it’s so easy to bring it up to patients, for them to see and understand the mission, and ultimately to raise funds for OGS.”
But Dr. Chow is quick to share the credit. “I just really want to shout out my staff — they’re the ones that drive our fundraising and make it all happen!”
With over 40 years of serving the North Winnipeg community, Henderson Vision Centre brings that same dedication to patients near and far. We are deeply grateful to the entire HVC team for their generosity, and for showing what’s possible when a practice decides to bring its whole team along for the mission.
