For the past three years, Fun-Raising School Gear has been helping Marsha Wolinsky, Founder of Jessie’ Sight Savers, raise money for the Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB).  Marsha Wolinsky formed this organization to help fund research to save the sight of her now 17 year old daughter, Jessie, who has been suffering from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), an incurable degenerative eye disease which can eventually lead to blindness, since the age of 7. Unless research intervenes, Jessie and 10 million other Americans with retinal degenerative diseases will continue to lose their eyesight.  

Every year we ask that you show your support to Marsha, Jessie, Jessie’s Sight Savers, and Vision Walk by walking the 5K or waving her team members on as they walk. This year Vision Walk will be held on October 25th at Will Roger’s State Beach in Pacific Palisades. We ask that you try and attend this event and show your support! This event will include many activities (both parent and child friendly) including food, games, sand-castle building, beach ball, face-painting, a bounce house, kite and hula-hoop exhibitions, plus a lot more! 

For complete directions and details visit www.fightblindness.org/LosAngeles and click on the “Helpful” links box. To register for the walk, visit www.visionwalk.org , click on “Los Angeles”, and then “Jessie’s Sight Saver Team”.  Donations can be made here or at the event.

For those not walking and who choose to make a contribution on-line, visit www.fightblindness.org/goto/marshawolinsky . Click on “Support Marsha” and go from there.

For questions about Jessie’s Sight Savers or Vision Walk ’09, contact Marsha Wolinsky at MARSHAWO@aol.com.

Fun Raising School has had the privilege each year to help Jessie create a unique T-shirt design that she would give as a thank you gift to all the “team members” who signed up to walk in her name.

Check out the designs that Jessie created with FRSG over the past few years.

We love you guys. Your blog about Jessie's Sight Savers is awesome!! Thank you so much for that and for all the ways you've contributed to our lives.
Not only are your ideas so hot, fun and creative, but your tee shirts, totes, etc. are all of the finest quality, great to wear and priced so well.
Best of all is working with you Marni! We love you!! Your designers Chystal and Nillie are also a pleasure to work with.
We're so proud to wear our tee shirts and carry our tote bags as we walk for a cure for retinal degenerative diseases at VisionWalk each year!
