Congratulations to Lion Bob Crump - KidSight’s Volunteer of the Year!

Bob, a member of the Seymour Missouri Lions Club, has been a true champion for KidSight and the children we serve. While he officially became a KidSight volunteer in 2019, his support of our mission goes back decades.

This past year, Bob served children across 11 Missouri counties and personally screened more than 1,600 children. Beyond screenings, Bob serves on KidSight’s Board of Directors, organizes an annual District raffle fundraiser to benefit KidSight, and is always willing to step up, lend a hand, and advocate for early childhood vision screening.

Bob’s dedication reflects the very best of KidSight: service, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping children see clearly, learn confidently, and thrive.

Please join us in congratulating Bob Crump on this well-deserved recognition. Thank you, Bob, for all you do for KidSight and the children of Missouri!

It’s Healthy Vision Month! 👀

Protecting your child’s vision goes beyond just regular check-ups. This Healthy Vision Month, we're challenging families to tick off this entire list!

Simple acts like spending time outdoors, wearing protective eyewear, and understanding your family’s eye health history can make a world of difference.

Which of these is your goal for this week? Let us know in the comments!

We’re excited to share that we've been selected as a new partner organization with the United Way of Southeast Missouri!

Together, we’re helping ensure children have the vision care they need to move from striving to thriving, in the classroom and beyond. Thank you, United Way of SEMO, for your support and investment in children’s vision and early intervention!

A big thank you to the Veterans United Foundation for supporting KidSight with a recent donation!

Because of VUF, more children will receive the vision screenings they need and the follow-up care that truly makes the difference. From connecting families to eye exams to helping remove barriers to glasses, their support is helping kids see clearly, learn confidently, and thrive.

The impact of this gift goes far beyond a single screening! It’s opening doors in the classroom and in life. We’re so grateful to have you alongside us in helping kids see their full potential 💙

We’re proud to celebrate volunteers like John and Rosa. 💙

For the past 6 years, they’ve dedicated their time and talents to helping Missouri children see the world clearly. As members of the New Haven MO Lions Club, they've grown their own team to 4 members and even helped bring two additional teams to life in their District.

They said, “Knowing we are helping put children on the right path for better vision is what we enjoy most.”

Thank you, John and Rosa, for the incredible impact you’re making ✨
