While facing many obstacles and overcoming them, Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation is proud to look back at the successes of 2016. Because of all of the support and donations they received this past year, they were able to move further towards their goal of curing the CRB1 degenerative retinal eye disease! All of their backing and dedication has helped propel them forward into 2017 with the hope that this will be the year the cure is discovered.

Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation is thrilled to announce a new partnership that will bring their resources in front of The Mighty's wide-reaching readership. Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation will now have a growing home page on The Mighty and appear on many stories on the site.

As people go about their daily routines, it is important to keep in mind those whose routines have drastically changed due to diseases, such as CRB1 degenerative retinal disease. The Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation actively seeks a cure for this rare eye disease, working together with other organizations to spread awareness of blindness and visual impairment.

On September 18th, the Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation will hold its biggest event of the year. Bike the Basin is a fundraiser that raises money to directly benefit the Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to funding research towards a cure for degenerative retinal disease. Now in its 6th year, the upcoming Bike the Basin has just added even more exciting incentives to join the fun and come together for an important cause.

The Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation's largest annual event is only a few months away, and the organization is working around the clock to spread the word locally, nationally, and internationally. Families from Bucks County and the surrounding towns are setting up teams and raising money for the 6th Annual "Bike The Basin" fundraiser. The proceeds raised go directly to the Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) organization that is avidly working to cure Degenerative Retinal Disease also known as CRB1. This condition is a rare eye disease that affects children across the world. The event will be held on Sunday, September 18th at 9:30 AM and will be hosted at the Northampton Civic Center located in Richboro, PA.

This past February, the Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation helped to make history. The organization, which advocates for the funding of research towards a cure for CRB1 degenerative retinal diseases, was present on Capitol Hill on February 25 for the introduction of a bill designating February 28 as National Rare Eye Disease Awareness Day. Presented by Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-8), the bill was presented in print as well as in Braille—the first bill in US history to appear in both written forms.
