FUNDRAISER EVENTS
Eyes on the Stage: December 6, 2025
The 2025 return of World in Focus's Arts Night, Eyes on the Stage, brought creativity and community together in support of accessible eye care. Through live performances, music, food, prizes, and fun activities, the event celebrated a meaningful moment to raise funds towards helping individuals access the eye care they need. Thank you to our sponsors Maker Pizza, Kernels Popcorn, and DOSE Juice for supporting us as well as Elephant Grind Coffee for hosting!
Bake it Happen: October 12 & 13, 2025
This year, the WIF team baked a variety of treats—from brownies to cookies—to raise funds for our initiatives. It was wonderful to see so many community members place orders in support. The WIF team is incredibly thankful to everyone who baked, helped sell, and purchased our goodies!
