The Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation extends its deepest gratitude to the individuals, organizations, and partners who made our recent gala—and the upcoming Morocco Mission —possible.

Through the collective generosity of our community, the gala raised $107,000 in direct support and secured more than $300,000 in in-kind medical donations. These resources are now being mobilized to deliver sight-restoring surgeries, clinician training, and long-term eye care capacity in Chefchaouen Province, Morocco.

This mission is not the work of a single organization. It is the result of collaboration, trust, and a shared belief that preventable blindness should not exist anywhere in the world.

In-Kind Medical Partners

We extend special recognition to our in-kind medical partners whose contributions directly support the delivery of high-quality ophthalmic care:

Alcon
Bausch + Lomb

Their support plays a critical role in ensuring that patients receive safe, effective, and modern vision care during the Morocco Mission and beyond.
