This month, the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium are offering free admission to those who donate a pair of PRESCRIPTION glasses. New Eyes for the Needy, a non-profit organization that works to improve the vision of poor people throughout the world to include children, adults, and seniors, will receive all donated glasses.
Dr. Barbara Baker, president and CEO of the zoo and aquarium, states, "Most of us have glasses that are just sitting in a drawer. Why not donate them and enjoy a visit to the zoo at the same time?"
The glasses will be collected at the gate and there is no limit on the number of PRESCRIPTION glasses a family donates.
Sounds like a very COOL trip to the zoo where those in need benefit and those that donate get to spend time at the zoo with family and friends through free admission. Here's to you Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium for providing such a COOL opportunity to those that donate and to those in need-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
Do you know of another COOL venue that thinks about the needy and provides an opportunity to those who donate their time or possessions? What is it and what do they do?
