Video Transcript


Speaker: Teri Geist

Teri Geist: I'm Teri Geist, O.D. I've been lucky to have served on the Optometry Cares Board for a number of years to witness firsthand the wonderful work that the AOA Foundation does every single year. And there are many programs underneath the umbrella, but currently one of the busiest and most used programs right now is OFDR, the Optometry Disaster Relief Fund. We've had horrible tornadoes come through Omaha and two of my colleague optometrists have completely lost their homes. Luckily no one was hurt, but the Foundation was able to help them quickly when they lost everything. And we all know every part of the country has been affected by natural disasters or even cyber attacks. And the Foundation Board wants to make sure that we have the funds available to help everyone in these types of emergencies. So if you haven't given to Optometry Cares—The AOA Foundation yet, please consider doing so. We really need to have your support and we appreciate it so much. Thank you.
