Los Angeles Dodgers players Adrián González (left) and Justin Turner recently joined students from Betty Plasencia Elementary School and representatives of Vision To Learn to celebrate five years of providing children with the glasses needed to succeed in school – and on the ball field.
Vision To Learn provides free vision screenings, eye exams and eye glasses to students in low-income communities. Vision To Learn’s eye care professionals serve children from mobile vision clinics that travel to school sites and community events.
The L.A. Dodgers Foundation has worked with Vision To Learn since it started in 2012. In addition to schools, Vision To Learn has provided vision screenings, eye exams and glasses to students at Dodgers Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities little-league events, Dodgers Day at Dodger Stadium, and Dodgers-supported community organizations including the Boys and Girls Clubs.
“We are grateful for the support the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation has provided to Vision To Learn since we began our efforts five short years ago,” said Vision To Learn founder and chair Austin Beutner. “We look forward to continuing to work with the L.A. Dodgers Foundation to make sure every child has the glasses they need to succeed in school and in life.”
Betty Plasencia Elementary School is located at 1321 Cortez St., southwest of Dodger Stadium. For information, visit visiontolearn.org.
