FGX International Charitable Donations

FGX International Donates over $5 Million in Reading Glasses to Support Haiti Recovery Missions.

FGX International donated 47,000 pairs of reading glasses, an approximate retail value of $700,000, to be used to support ongoing recovering efforts in Haiti and on medical missions around the world. One half of the donation, comprised of both Magnivision and Foster Grant readers, will benefit CURE International centers in Haiti and Africa, and the remaining half will be sent on medical missions to other third world countries in need.

FGX worked with Dr. Paul Berman, Optometrist, co-director of EyeCare4Haiti, to facilitate the donation. Dr. Berman visited Haiti in the wake of the devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake last year and saw a genuine need for non-prescription reading glasses.

“Non-prescription reading glasses can certainly help patients in Haiti and elsewhere – not only to read, but to be able to do other tasks that require the ability to focus up close,” said Dr. Berman. “We delivered readers last year to patients in Haiti. For the first time in a while, people could see up close, read, sew, and perform other everyday jobs. I was amazed to learn that in some parts of rural Haiti, it is thought that not being able to see up close as you aged was just part of the aging process and that there is no solution. With a donation of this magnitude from FGX, we will be able to significantly change many more lives.”

Pink Hope

Through various “Pink Hope” promotions, FGX International was able to raise $60,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foudnation in 2011. The National Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need. FGXI is very proud to be associated with such a worthwhile organization.

RestoringVision.org

FGX International recently donated hundreds of reading glasses and sunglasses to RestoringVision.org, a non-profit organization that supplies eyewear to groups going on missions to developing countries and domestic groups serving the underprivileged. The FGX products were given to a group on a mission in Abetifi, Ghana in February 2011. The glasses brought big smiles to those who received them.

Foster Grant 80th Anniversary

As part of its anniversary celebration, Foster Grant is donating proceeds from celebrity signed Foster Grant sunglasses and online sales of a Limited Edition 80th Anniversary collection to two organizations to help underprivileged American children, Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services Organization, a charity Raquel Welch personally supports, and The Hoop-A-Paluza Foundation. The limited edition styles are currently sold on FosterGrant.com with $25 from the proceeds of each pair to benefit Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services and The Hoop-A-Paluza Foundation.

Supporting Our Community

For the past several years, FGX International and its employees have raised money for the American Heart Association. In 2011 FGXI raised nearly $7,000 during the Annual Southern New England Start! Heart Walk as well as participating in the Go Red for Women fashion gala.

For the second consecutive year, FGXI employees will be bowling in support of the Junior Achievement of Rhode Island fundraiser. The Junior Achievement is a network of dedicated business and community volunteers sharing their success and real-life skills through their hands-on, experiential programs that teach the key concepts of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. Their legacy is that all Rhode Island youth be given access to opportunity and success.

In 2010, FGX International became a sponsor of the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association, contributing to their 8th Annual Cheeseburgers in Paradise Endless Summer event.

The mission of the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association is to provide education and other forms of support to families that provide substitute care, and to the community at large, in order to further the cause of children who cannot live with their parents.

FGX International donated reading glasses to Attitudes & Attire, a non-profit agency dedicated to promoting personal growth for women seeking self-sufficiency. Their program provides the tools that raise self-esteem, promote ethics and build the confidence necessary to succeed in the workplace. Attitudes and Attire, based in Dallas, TX, expands the traditional job training curriculum to include positive self-image, appropriate workplace behavior and appearance. They help clients build self-confidence by identifying personal barriers for inner growth and develop a positive self-concept.

FGX International is an enthusiastic sponsor of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence, whose mission is to inspire youth and children, especially those from diverse or difficult circumstances, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and healthy members of their community, the state of Rhode Island and the nation.

FGXI is very excited to be working with the United Way of Rhode Island, initiating an employee program during the summer of 2008. FGXI chose to work the United Way because of their stellar reputation and the work they have been doing in its immediate communities for over 80 years. The United Way works to address the issues Rhode Islanders care about most and works with a broad range of people and organizations to identify resolving pressing community needs. FGXI employees have proudly contributed over $30K annually to the United Way of Rhode Island.

FGX International is a proud sponsor of a local organization, Inspiring Minds, an award-winning non-profit enables kids to succeed in school. Each year thousands of children face some learning crisis that could end their chances of a successful school career and future. FGXI has made several donations to support IM in their continuing efforts to provide public school students with individual attention and educational support services they need to grow academically and socially.

The Jimmy Fund Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is another organization that FGX International has sponsored, specifically to the Andrew T. Sarkisian Memorial Golf Tournament for the past two years. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has supported the fight against cancer in children and adults at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping to raise the chances of survival for cancer patients around the world.

FGX International donated reading glasses to the Rhode Island Free Clinic, the state’s only clinic exclusively providing free comprehensive primary care, prevention education and specifically referrals to the uninsured. FGXI’s charitable donation is a demonstration of its commitment to helping the state’s most vulnerable population.
