The People of Vision event was established in 1985 by Prevent Blindness Ohio to celebrate and recognize corporations and their leaders for outstanding philanthropic works they have undertaken. The event has evolved into The People of Vision Celebration where community visionaries are invited to share with guests their personal journey in establishing a vision for their community and seeing it through to fruition. Celebrations take place in each of Prevent Blindness Ohio’s service regions: Central Ohio, Northwest Ohio, Southwest Ohio, Northeast Ohio and Miami Valley Ohio.
Prevent Blindness Ohio also honors an individual or organization with the Community Partner in Vision Award for their critical role in bringing vision care to medically underserved areas in their region. The People of Vision Celebrations across Ohio have become premier philanthropic events each year. The events combined generate more than $300,000 for sight-saving programs provided by Prevent Blindness Ohio and are attended by approximately 750 community leaders.
