20th ANNUAL FLIGHT FOR SIGHT

Prevent Blindness Oklahoma’s Flight for Sight event is celebrating its 20th year and we are planning an evening you’ll never forget!  This year’s theme is Viva Las Vegas!!   And you know what that means…that evening, we will be giving away a Trip for Two to sunny Las Vegas!

You won’t want to miss Elvis parachuting in at 7pm to greet guests and pose for photos!  Plus enjoy fabulous food from local eateries, award winning beverages, and live entertainment by Dave & the Wavetones.  Plus, there will be an exciting live and silent auction; including such items as wine and beer tastings, amazing golf packages, fashion eyewear, and children’s packages from birthday to holiday entertainment. 

Flight for Sight will be held from 7:00 to 10:00 pm on Saturday, September 19, 2009 at Christiansen Jet Center, Jones-Riverside Airport. Tickets are only $35 in advance or $40 at the door. (Must be 21 & older to attend.) 

Proceeds from Flight for Sight will benefit Prevent Blindness Oklahoma. Established in 1965, Prevent Blindness Oklahoma (PBO) is the only non-profit organization in Oklahoma dedicated exclusively to preserving sight and preventing blindness. Serving all 77 of Oklahoma’s counties, PBO’s cornerstone project is the Children’s Vision Screening Program. During the 2007-2008 school year, this program provided 246,395 free vision screenings for elementary school age children across the state, referring over 25,000 to an eye care professional for a complete eye exam and further care. Prevent Blindness Oklahoma receives no state, federal or United Way funding and relies solely on grants and private donations.  For sponsorship information or to purchase tickets, call Diana Edens with Prevent Blindness Oklahoma at (918) 496-3484 or visit our web site at www.flightforsighttulsa.com.
