Steve and Christine Myers of The Visual Bucket List Foundation accept a check Tuesday, Aug. 14 from ReVision. The $1,757 will be used to send a local family to Disney World. MANSFIELD — Through the ReVision Gives Back program, ReVision LASIK and Cataract Surgery presented a check to The Visual Bucket List Foundation Tuesday which will be used to send a local family to Walt Disney World later this year. ReVision donated $1,757 to the Mansfield-based non-profit foundation that provides unique ‘bucket list’ experiences for children with severe visual impairments to create special visual memories that will last a lifetime. “It adds some validity to our cause when a local business seeks us out and wants to do a fundraiser for our foundation,” said The Visual Bucket List Foundation co-founder Christine Myers, commenting on the business’s kindness and generosity.
