Two weeks ago, the Waterloo Canadian Association of Optometry Students (CAOS) and UWaterloo Optometry Student Society (UWOSS) hosted their Run for Sight charity run in support of Optometry Giving Sight’s (OGS) World Sight Day Challenge! 👁️🏃 Together, we raised over $6,000 and ranked #1 as a school! 🎉

The event featured 2.5 km and 5 km runs, a BBQ lunch and prizes for top fundraisers.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, participated, and helped make this event a success, as well as to the student organizers and sponsors who made it all possible. We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to this year’s OGS World Sight Day Challenge
