Join us for the 11^th Annual Light the Night for Sight held in conjunction with Clive Festival!

Light the Night for Sight is an evening walk celebrating the gift of sight and emphasizing safe summer celebrations.  The walk is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of consumer fireworks, educate the public on the importance of sports eye safety and UV protection and provide information on how to preserve sight.

Registration is from 6:15pm to 7:15pm with the walk beginning at 7:30pm.  Walkers can choose a 1, 2, or 3 mile route on the Clive Greenbelt Trail.  There is no entry fee to participate, however walkers are encouraged to collect pledges.  $100 in pledges will earn you a glow-in-the-dark t-shirt.  There will be refreshments and door prizes throughout the night.  As part of Clive Festival, there will also be a carnival, a beverage garden, food vendors, and music.   

Help us Light the Night for Sight by signing up today!  Contact our office for additional information or to register for the walk.
