Our Inaugural Graystone Eye Missions Gala & Auction was a special evening.

The spirit of our mission filled the room, and we were honored to gather with such a meaningful and supportive community.

This night not only supported our 2026 Bolivia Mission Trip, but also helps fund our local community through the newly established Vision Access Fund.

There is much more to share from this unforgettable evening—thank you for all of the support.

MISSION WORK is our foundation.

Our team recently spent time with one of our founding physicians, Dr. Hampton Lefler, who led Graystone Eye mission trips long before our nonprofit began.

Through his leadership—and the dedication of a strong, compassionate team—he helped lay the groundwork for the mission-driven organization we are today.
