OneSight (formerly the Give the Gift of Sight Foundation) present the Sounds for Sight benefit concert. Local artists Peanut Gringo, Undercurrent, Meal Ticket and Jason Masi will provide entertainment in the form of instrumental, acoustic and rock sounds. For a $10 entrance fee, attendees will enjoy admittance to the show. A door raffle prize for a 2-night stay at a Virginia Beach oceanfront hotel is also up for grabs for those who choose to participate by donating extra cash.
Proceeds will benefit the upcoming OneSight vision clinic to be held the week of October 19th at the Arthur Ashe center in Richmond. The OneSight vision clinic will provide 1000+ children from the greater Richmond area with free eye exams and glasses.
