Attached is a information from VIP Eyes in Auburn about their 11th annual Give Back Day on Wednesday, November 26th:

Every Student Deserves to See Their Best

Good vision plays a vital role in every student’s success—both inside and outside the classroom. Uncorrected vision problems can lead to difficulty concentrating, disruptive behavior, and struggles with learning andparticipation. Beyond academics, poor vision can also affect a child’s social and athletic development.
At VIP Eyes Auburn, we understand that for many families, the cost of eyeglasses can be a challenge. That’s why we’re proud to continue our mission of giving back to our community through our Annual Gives Back Day, established in 2015.

Our goal is simple: to help as many students as possible see clearly and confidently.

Event Details
Date: Wednesday, November 26th
Location: VIP Eyes Auburn 120 Center St Plaza Auburn
Time: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

On this day, children can receive a complete pair of eyeglasses—including frames and single-vision lenses—for just $15. We’ll also be offering additional frame and lens upgrades at significantly reduced prices.

Please note that eye exams will not be available on-site, so we ask that families bring either a current prescription or a current pair of eyeglasses to use as a reference. While the state of Maine does not require opticians to be licensed or certified, you can rest assured that our team brings over 90 years of combined experience to the table. Our certified opticians and lab manager—
who is also donating his time—will ensure that every pair of glasses meets our highest quality standards.

📞 Have questions?
Call us at (207) 783-4226.
Let’s work to make sure every student has the vision they need to thrive!

Sincerely,
Amy Plummer, ABOC
