4th Annual Cast & Swing Tournament Hosts Sell-Out Crowd

On April 26th, Prevent Blindness Georgia hosted its 4th Annual Cast & Swing Tournament at the Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta. The event which sported a sell-out crowd, was presented by National Vision, Inc., an optical retail company which works to help people see their best to live their best.

The Cast & Swing tournament featured not only an opportunity to golf but also to fish. Boaters cast off at 7:00 a.m. that morning. Although Joe Kurelic caught a dozen fish, the largest—a 5 pound 8 ouncer—was caught by William White.

Prevent Blindness Georgia is grateful to all of the sponsors of the event. With the support of its sponsors, Prevent Blindness Georgia raised more than $150,000 to fund its core programs, providing vision health for children, and low-income, uninsured adults across the state.
