The Honor Foundation to Pay Tribute to Special Operations Forces at Salute to SOF Gala in Washington D.C.

Leave a comment


“This event will be one of our most memorable of the year. Here, in our Nation’s Capital, we draw together our greatest supporters, patrons, partners, and of course, the veterans we serve to salute to the great sacrifices our service men and women have made while protecting our freedom. Their brave pursuits deserve our deepest gratitude, as well as our service in return. Events like Salute to SOF allow us to better serve our veterans—increasing our reach, growing our programs, and ultimately improving the post-service lives of these men and women and their families,” said THF CEO Matt Stevens of the event.

The event comes at a time when gaps in the traditional transition programs offered to SOF veterans transitioning out of the military are becoming more evident. Many post-9/11 Special Operators are nearing retirement age, and there is a pressing need to better ensure that they have fulfilling lives after their military careers. The funds raised at Salute to SOF will help THF reach even more of these veterans with their proprietary program.

Prevent Blindness Declares Fourth Annual Thyroid Eye Disease Awareness Week as Nov. 13-19, 2023

Leave a comment


In the active phase of TED, the main symptoms include inflammation and increased amounts of tissue, muscles, and fat behind the eye, causing the eyeballs to bulge outward. If the eye is pushed far enough forward, the eyelids may not close properly when blinking and sleeping. In severe cases, the inflammation and enlargement of the tissues, muscles, and fat behind the eye compresses the optic nerve, causing vision loss.

Because many individuals with TED are more likely to develop depression and anxiety, during TED Awareness Week, Prevent Blindness will also debut a new episode in the Focus on Eye Health Expert Series, “Thyroid Eye Disease and Mental Wellness.” Neuro-ophthalmic conditions expert Prem Subramanian, MD, PhD, Clifford R. and Janice N. Merrill Endowed Chair in Ophthalmology and Vice Chair for Academic Affairs at Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center, UCHealth, discusses TED, its potential impact on mental health, and the importance of patient and healthcare provider communication to help improve health outcomes.

Because art therapy has been shown to help people improve their mental, emotional and even physical wellness, Prevent Blindness offers TED patients and care partners the Prevent Blindness Art Therapy Program, recently concluding its third session. This unique, no-cost program is thoughtfully designed to build community and connections among people who are affected by TED and provide the opportunity to create art using a variety of artistic media to express thoughts and feelings. This program is also supported by funding from Amgen and Viridian Therapeutics.

Various works in a variety of mediums from past participants may be viewed in the new Prevent Blindness Art Therapy Gallery at https://preventblindness.org/the-prevent-blindness-art-therapy-program/. Those interested in participating in the next session may sign up for the Prevent Blindness Art Therapy Program waiting list.

“Now in our 4th consecutive year, we are proud to continue to educate the public and provide patients and care partners with support for Thyroid Eye Disease,” said Jeff Todd, Prevent Blindness president and CEO. “Our goal is to provide comprehensive TED resources to empower patients, and encourage them to discuss their diagnosis, as well as any changes in mental health, to help limit the impact that TED may have on their health and quality of life.”

For more information on TED, please visit https://preventblindness.org/thyroid-eye-disease/. For details on the Prevent Blindness Art Therapy program, visit https://preventblindness.org/the-prevent-blindness-art-therapy-program/. And, visit the Living Well with Low Vision resource, “Vision Loss and Mental Wellness” at https://lowvision.preventblindness.org/vision-loss-and-mental-wellness/.

About Prevent Blindness
Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness is the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Focused on promoting a continuum of vision care, Prevent Blindness touches the lives of millions of people each year through public and professional education, advocacy, certified vision screening and training, community and patient service programs and research. These services are made possible through the generous support of the American public.
