Try one—or all!— of these:
- The Grand Raffle
Donate something valuable, raffle it off, and turn excitement into funds for OGS. - Lights, Camera, Give
Buy ad space in our digital newsletter and put your brand in front of an audience that shares your values. - Round Up for Sight
Invite employees to round up their paychecks or set up a small recurring payroll deduction. Easy to do, easy to forget — in the best way. - Skip the Snack
Pool what your team would have spent on an afternoon treat and donate it instead. A small swap with big impact. - Casual for the Cause
Employees chip in $5 for the right to wear jeans on Fridays. We’ll send stickers so they can show off why. Open all year — the more Fridays, the better. - Give in Their Name
Skip the holiday gift and make a donation to OGS on behalf of clients, colleagues, or partners. Meaningful? Yes. Zero clutter? Also yes. - Bet on Your Team
Departments or teams go head-to-head in a friendly fundraising competition, with the winners scoring a day out — a game, an outing, whatever feels like a win.
Something else — If you’d rather color outside the lines
Mix and match any of the above options—or create your own!

wait...what is the WORLD SIGHT DAY challenge?
Nearly everyone on the planet will experience an eye health issue in their lifetime, yet over a billion people still lack access to the services and treatments they need. World Sight Day, observed annually on the second Tuesday of October, focuses the worlds’ attention on eye care that is accessible, available and affordable to all. The World Sight Day Challenge encourages everyone—from optometry practices to individuals to corporations—to raise funds for OGS-funded eyecare projects. The Challenge runs annually from September 1- October 31.
