ABOUT SIGHT FOR LIFE CAMPAIGN
 
 
This summer, in recognition of Healthy Vision Month and Children’s Eye Health Month, A Cure In Sight is shining a spotlight on ocular melanoma — a rare and aggressive eye cancer that affects adults and, in rare cases, children.
 
From July 1 to August 31, we’re asking our community to support the Sight for Life campaign — raising funds to protect vision, support patients, and save lives.
 
Because no child, no parent, no one should face eye cancer alone.
 
Here’s Where the FUN Comes In
 
This July and August, we’re turning awareness into action — and action into awesome prizes!
 
Earn points for:
 
  • Raising funds
  • Spreading awareness
  • Participating in events
  • Recruiting friends and family
Win prizes each week:
 
  • Top fundraiser
  • Top point-earner
 
Grand prizes go to the overall campaign champions!
 
Whether you're walking for wellness, posting for awareness, or giving from the heart, you’re making a real difference for real people — and having fun while doing it.
 
Our Goal: $100,000 by August 31
 
Together, we can reach it — and change lives in the process.
Give today. Make sight possible tomorrow.
 
Join us and help A Cure In Sight build a future where every eye has a chance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

This campaign is free to participate in.

However, we encourage you to donate optional/suggested amount during registration or you can always donate any amount on your fundraising page after the registration.

How can I create my fundraising page?

Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.

How will I track my distance?

Download the Charity Footprints' iOS or Android app and track your workouts toward this campaign. ?>

If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.

Who can I contact if I need help?

You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.

How do I change or switch my team?

If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.
