Libertas Funding, LLC, a Greenwich-based company founded by Gary Katcher, increases its support for the Foundation Fighting Blindness (the “Foundation”) through its participation in VisionWalk, scheduled for April 13, 2024. For Gary Katcher and Libertas Funding, this initiative is a symbol of their commitment to the movement to eradicate blindness.
VisionWalk is a pivotal event for the Foundation, serving as a critical fundraising initiative to support groundbreaking research into retinal degenerative diseases. Since its inception in 2006, VisionWalk has galvanized over 200,000 individuals, including participants, donors, and sponsors, collectively raising more than $64 million. This remarkable achievement underscores a collective desire to find treatments and cures for conditions that affect millions of lives. For Gary Katcher, Libertas Funding, and their enthusiastic employees, participating in this event is an opportunity to come together as a team to promote a truly worthy cause.
The Foundation has long been at the forefront of research and advocacy for those affected by blinding retinal diseases. With an ambitious mission to discover treatments and cures for conditions such as macular degeneration and Usher syndrome, the Foundation represents hope for over 10 million Americans. Gary Katcher describes the Foundation as an exceptional organization, and one of the first non-profit organizations dedicated exclusively to treating blinding retinal conditions.
With the VisionWalk in April 2024 arriving soon, the commitment of Libertas Funding, Gary Katcher and all involved is a source of inspiration. Their active participation not only raises essential funds for research but also raises awareness about the challenges faced by those with retinal degenerative diseases. It is also an important reminder of the power of solidarity, compassion and action.
In addition to its participation in VisionWalk, Libertas Funding also supports the Foundation’s Annual Gala, which this year is scheduled for May 9. As a National Trustee for the Foundation, as well as a former honoree and consistent presence at the Foundation’s Night for Sight Gala fundraiser, Gary Katcher’s dedication to the cause of fighting blindness has been long-standing and reflects his belief in the power of giving back.
The involvement of Gary Katcher of Greenwich and Libertas Funding in the Foundation’s VisionWalk 2024 is a wonderful example of philanthropic leadership. It showcases how businesses can extend their impact beyond the commercial sphere and play a crucial role in driving positive societal change.
