Chap Basketball Shows Support for Blindness Prevention

By Forrest Allen
MC Athletic Director

MIDLAND, TEXAS - In the first of three possible events, the MC basketball team showed their support for blindness prevention and the defeat of diseases that contribute to the loss of sight for Texans. The Chaparrals and Prevent Blindness Texas joined forces to help increase awareness of eye diseases, eye safety and chronic diseases that can rob people of their vision.

Prevent Blindness Texas is the local chapter of Prevent Blindness America. Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness America is the nation's leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Focused on promoting a continuum of vision care, Prevent Blindness America touches the lives of millions of people each year.

Linda Hook of the Midland Chapter of Prevent Blindness along with their volunteers and members of the medical community turned out for the evening. Prevent Blindness Texas promotes overall eye health and safety, vision screening and other programs.

Midland College Athletics and Prevent Blindness Texas will join up next semester for events at a future Chap baseball game and perhaps an MC golf tournament.

The Chaps are proud of their association with Prevent Blindness Texas where our motto is "Together We Share a Vision."
