Ecliptic Brewing Hosts IPAs for Eyes – A Benefit for OHSU Casey Eye Institute
|Earlier this year Ecliptic Brewery hosted IPAs for Eyes, a benefit for the OHSU Casey Eye Institute. Now the brewery is back at it nine months later for a second day of raising money for this great charity.
The second go-round of IPAs for Eyes will take place on Sunday, November 4, 2018. This community fundraiser will help provide and fund quality prescription glasses for communities served by the Casey Community Outreach Program.
During this daylong fundraiser, Ecliptic will donate 10 percent of all sales, including food and non-alcoholic drinks, to help pay for high quality prescription glasses offered by the Casey Community Outreach Program.
Ecliptic will offer a special IPA taster tray throughout the day, and event attendees can also tour the Casey Eye Institute’s 33-foot, fully outfitted mobile ophthalmology unit that provides free medical vision screenings at locations ranging from the state’s remote corners to Portland’s urban core.
Entirely donor funded, the Casey Community Outreach Program is staffed by volunteer eye doctors, technicians and support staff. Since 2010, it has traveled 28,000 miles, making 240 visits at over 75 different community centers and health clinics to provide medical vision care to over 8,000 community members. In addition to providing no-cost glasses, the program screens for eye disease in an effort to eliminate preventable blindness.

Additional prizes include an autographed shoe from Portland Trail Blazer CJ McCollum, Oregon Zoo tickets, Portalnd Winterhawks hockey tickets, winery tours and many other fun items.
