On May 7 four cyclists embarked on a transcontinental bike ride in order to educate the public about eye disease and to encourage the public to utilize EyeCare America's free eye-care programs, including the Senior EyeCare Program.
EyeCare America's achievements over the years have been made possible by its corps of 7,000 volunteer ophthalmologists and its close and long standing partnership with the Knights Templar Eye Foundation. The Knights Templar are pleased to be partnering with ECA on this EyeRide for Sight campaign.

Through EyeRide for Sight, we want to encourage Sir Knights to take action that will help preserve their own vision by also "giving the gift of sight," and showing your support of these caring cyclists riding their way across the country, by making a donation to the KTEF.
"Your donation will help the Knights Templar Eye Foundation continue its mission to preserve sight. For every $25 donated to the KTEF in honor of EyeRide for Sight, EyeCare America will be able to provide someone with the services they need to save their sight," said Sir Knight William Howard Koon, President, KTEF.
This historic ride will cover over 3,000 miles, starting in San Francisco, California, and ending in Washington, DC, and for just pennies per mile, you can help prevent blindness.

Donation to KTEF $30 $150 $300 $750 $1,050

Cost per mile $0.01 $0.05 $0.10 $0.25 $0.35
