Run for the Retina – Maui Edition

Because this event was such a hit at last year's meeting, the American Retina Foundation will be hosting a 5K Run/Walk fundraising event as part of the ASRS Annual Meeting at Maui in Hawaii, October 11-15. The run will take place on Sunday, October 12 at 6:00 am. There are awards for both men's and women's divisions. You may pick up your race t-shirt at the American Retina Foundation booth (Booth 35) on Saturday, October 11, from 1:00pm - 5:00pm. There will also be a limited amount of spots onsite. If you are interested in running we strongly encourage you to sign up today. Pre-register for this event at www.americanretina.org/run.

This year, in order to promote our AMD Awareness Kits, we are teaming with the sponsor, Alcon, to run an awareness ad in Reader's Digest. The campaign is to encourage at-risk patients and their family members to order a kit for self-testing and prevention of AMD. We have a large supply of these patient-education kits at the ARF office and we encourage all ASRS members to order a complimentary set of 54 kits for use in your practice. To order your set, please visit www.savingvision.org. We thank Alcon for supporting this vital program.

The American Retina has begun to accept grant applications for programs and educational initiatives related to AMD and other neovascular diseases. Grants will be made in the amount $10,000 or less.
