The Pediatric Retinal Research Foundation (PRRF) is excited to host our
8th annual Hope for Vision Walk
SUNDAY, APRIL 19th, 2026
IN PERSON: OAKLAND UNIVERSITY
✨ New this year: The Hope for Vision Walk has moved from the fall to the spring! This will make it easier for families traveling for our Family Connection Conference to participate in both events, while also creating a more balanced fundraising year for PRRF.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Pediatric Retinal Research Foundation (PRRF) is to raise awareness of pediatric retinal diseases, drive research, and support the community of affected individuals and their families. To learn more about the pediatric retinal diseases supported by PRRF, research efforts and upcoming community events, visit us at PRRF.org.
ABOUT THE WALK
Our annual Hope for Vision Walk brings together supporters, families, and advocates to raise funds and awareness for pediatric retinal disease research and community programs. Participants can join with us virtually in their own communities or in-person at Oakland University. Given how unpredictable April weather can be, our in-person event will take place on an indoor track, still with lots of games, refreshments, and family-friendly activities.
