⛳Case study: Nurture Fundraising Activity Year Round Scramble for Sight is an annual golf tournament, dinner and auction that has been running annually for twenty years. Scott Burt & Sherri Kroonenberg have been chairing the event since it’s inception. In that time the money raised has gone directly into research to fight blindness. Scott is happy to proclaim “We are winning”. The very first genetic treatment approved by the FDA was because of research funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Vision can be restored with one injection in each eye for patients suffering blindness due to a particular gene mutation. The fight is not over though, there are still many retinal degenerative diseases that still need to be cured. The Scramble for Sight golf tournament is a one-day event starting with golfer registration, exciting tournament activities on the course then coming together for an open air dinner, silent & live auction. In 20 years the event has raised over two million dollars and even more exciting the millions has been used to fund research, treatments and cures for blindness.
