The Vision Council announced that the organization’s Open Your Eyes Frame Vendue has raised $38,100 for the Equal Justice Initiative and My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.

Additionally, several of the participating designers have pledged their intent to match the winning bids with their own donation.

The bidding kicked off on Friday, June 19 during a virtual happy hour hosted by Tarrence Lackran, Director of Partnerships and Programming for The Vision Council, and the participating eyewear designers, and continued until Friday, June 26.

Participating companies include: AHLEM, Anna-Karin Karlsson, Barton Perreira, Blake Kuwahara, Cazal, Christian Roth, Jacques Marie Mage, l.a.Eyeworks, Morgenthal Frederics & Robert Marc NYC, Nico Roseillier, Rigards, Selima Optique, and Thierry Lasry.
