#DCTweetup 17: Vision Walk Fundraiser

Sisarina & Church in Bethesda have teamed up to support our neighbors, the Fulton family, by getting you all together to raise money & recruit walkers for Team Walking into Walls September 26 in Rockville. Together, we ask that you come enjoy the fantastic happy hour specials and bring your extra cash & change for donations. We'd love it if you could sign up for a 5k walk on a beautiful Sunday morning with your friends while showing your support for research to stop degenerative eye disease. Check out Sisarina's recent blog post about the Fulton's.

What is Vision Walk?
VisionWalk is the national signature fundraising event of the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Since its inception in the Spring of 2006, the program has raised over $13 million to fund sight-saving research. As promising treatments move into critical human studies, the need for research funding is greater than ever before. Join the tens of thousands of people who have taken important steps toward a cure by participating in a 5K VisionWalk.

What is #DCTweetup?
#DCTweetup is a ‘non’-networking event for locals to put a face to a Twitter handle. It’s a relaxing evening of networking with your neighbors, local business owners and meeting new friends. This is not your typical ’state what you do & hand over your business card’ event. #DCTweetup is for the introverted & extroverted alike to share in great conversation, relationship-building and fun.
