Von’s Why: “As a child, Von remembers times when he went to school without glasses or was made fun of because of his glasses. Without glasses, it was impossible to see, impossible to get any work done, and with glasses nearly impossible to maintain a positive self-image. Today, for many children, receiving glasses isn’t something they embrace and look forward to. They get made fun of because their glasses aren’t cool, or they don’t have glasses and they can’t see. Children with vision challenges come to a Von’s Vision program, receive eyecare, and then show up at school with a pair of fashionable, brand new glasses that were given to them by Von Miller. That child goes from being the least to the beast.” |
