For the advancement of Eye Research, Education, and Care

November 2024

Dear Lion _______,

Thanks to the generous support of Lions and Lions Clubs in Colorado and Wyoming, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation (RMLEIF) continues to make a profound impact by raising funds for the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute at the Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center. This partnership ensures patients like Christian receive sight-saving care.

Christian at 3 months old when his parents noticed something was wrong.

At just 4 months old, Christian was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive eye cancer, when Dr. Scott Oliver discovered six tumors in his eyes. Today, at 4 years old, Christian leads a normal, active life, with glasses protecting his right eye and compensating for slight vision loss.

Lions’ past contributions to RMLEIF have been instrumental in expanding and equipping exam areas, providing patient assistance for access to care, and supporting the low vision program which helps individuals with visual impairments maximize their remaining sight, maintain independence, and improve their quality of life.

As we look to the future, the need for expanded services and outreach continues to grow. Please consider donating to RMLEIF. Every gift, no matter the size, has a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve in our region.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication and service as we make a lasting difference in our communities.

With sincere appreciation,

John Harper, President

Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation Board of Trustees
