The International Eye Foundation celebrated its golden anniversary Sept. 18 at an Ambassadors Wine Tasting, hosted by Dr. and Mrs. Steven B. Hopping. A highlight of the event was the presentation of the 2011 Promotion of Peace and Vision Award to the King family to honor the memory of Dr. John Harry King, Jr., and his belief in “the promotion of peace through the prevention of blindness.” The IEF is in the vanguard of preventing blindness and restoring sight in the developing world.
