Race for Sight
Nearly 100 participants maneuvered and raced high-speed GO-Karts around gut-wrenching twists and turns as part of a fundraiser for three vision-related organizations. The event, called Race for Sight, benefited Vision of Children, the Delta Gamma Foundation, and the Braille Institute (San Diego) — all charities that fund vision-related research or services.
