On the morning of August 6, 2010, The Eye Institute (TEI) participated in The School District of Philadelphia's Back to School Block Party outside its headquarters on 440 North Broad Street. Even before the gates opened, hundreds of people gathered to enjoy workshops, kid friendly zones, local radio broadcasts, games, giveaways and much more.
As students prepared to begin another school year, The Eye Institute wanted parents and children to understand the importance of comprehensive eye exams. Good vision is an essential part of learning and success and hidden vision problems can put your child at risk.
With an eye toward educating teachers, parents and kids about the importance of good vision for academic success, TEI's tables were packed with informational brochures about vision and eye health. In addition to information, a golden bingo wheel was a fun way to win perfect back to school giveaways such as pens, pencils, first aid kits, hand sanitizer and water bottles.
With over 50,000 people in attendance, the 10-hour long second annual block party proved to be a great success.
