Giving thanks: honoring donor families & the gift of sight

This Eye Donation Month, join Eversight in turning gratitude into action for the gift of sight

A season of gratitude and giving

Each November, we celebrate Eye Donation Month, a time to reflect on one of life’s most profound gifts: the gift of sight.

This year, we invite donor families, surgeon partners and supporters to join us in gratitude and action. Together, we can honor the generosity that restores vision and transforms lives around the world.

Honoring donors & their families, the silent heroes of transformation

EDM_EverydayHeroes_LOGOBehind every transplant is a story of love and courage. Donors who said “yes” to donation—and families who supported that decision in their moment of loss—made sight possible for someone else.

By honoring donor families, we ensure their gift is recognized, remembered and celebrated as the foundation of every sight-restoring surgery.

Make a tribute today to honor donors and their families and the lasting legacies they create.

Corneal surgeons: Carrying gratitude forward

Our surgeon partners bridge generosity and transformation. More than skilled clinicians, they are stewards of the donor’s legacy, helping each transplant reflect the compassion behind the gift.

By acknowledging donor families, sharing stories of restored sight, and championing donation, surgeons keep gratitude at the heart of care—and inspire others to say “yes.”

Together, Eversight and our partners extend gratitude from donor to recipient, from the operating room to every life touched.

Everyday heroes: Celebrating Eye Donation Month 2025

This year’s Eye Bank Association of America’s Eye Donation Month theme, “Everyday Heroes,” honors everyone who makes vision restoration possible—donors, families, surgeons and supporters alike.

At Eversight, we see these heroes daily. From our tissue recovery technicians to our Research & Development team, from donor families to transplant recipients, each person plays a part in a powerful continuum of service.

Be an everyday hero—become a Sustainer for Sight.

Turning gratitude into action

Eye Donation Month aligns with the season of giving—a chance to give thanks and give sight. Your support sustains Eversight’s mission by supporting donor family care, advancing research and ensuring that sight-restoring tissue reaches those in need.

Gratitude is more than a feeling—it's a force for good. Every gift extends the compassion that began with a donor’s “yes.”

Make your gift today to change one person’s life for the better.

Together toward a world without blindness

Generosity doesn’t end with one act—it grows with every life it touches. Each donor, family, surgeon and supporter strengthens the ripple of transformation that restores not only sight but also hope.

This November, and every day, we give thanks to the people who make this work possible. Together, we move closer to realizing our vision: a world without blindness.
