2022 Fishin' for Vision Saltwater Fishing Tournament

April 21, 2022/ Ben Wicker

From the Fishin’ for Vision Webpage:

Giving Back
Fishin' For Vision was started by Dylan Klein when he was 15 years old. Dylan has Cone dystrophy which at this time has no cure. Instead of stressing about why his vision would not get better he decided to focus on ways to help others with vision issues. He will be able to accomplish his goal by supporting Florida Kidsight foundation, providing scholarships and helping others with visual needs.

Florida KidSight

The Florida KidSight and volunteers will be on site to screen children. This simple screening can help detect visual issues that if left untreated may cause irreversible and permanent vision. loss
