Baking for a better cause

This past Tuesday several of us employees at Virginia Eye Consultants put our culinary skills to the test as we baked our hearts out to help fight against blindness!

Thank you to everyone who baked and donated, helping us raise over $450.00 to Vision Walk!
Absolutely astounding!
