PRESS RELEASE
Visique Optometrists Donate to Christchurch
WEDNESDAY 7th SEPTEMBER 2011:
National optometry group, Visique, have announced that they will be donating $16,152 to the Christchurch quake relief efforts. The donation is the result of an appeal run in Visique stores nationwide earlier this year. For every eye exam completed at participating locations, a $2 donation was made by the group. In addition, Visique's key suppliers contributed to the amount.
The money raised will be given to the Christchurch Earthquake Mayoral Relief Fund which distributes funding toward projects that contribute to the rebuilding of the social and physical infrastructure of Christchurch following the earthquakes.
Visique General Manager, Pete Campbell, says "As a New Zealand owned company, with practices throughout the country, including in Christchurch, we all felt it incredibly important to show our support to those affected. We were extremely impressed by how quickly and unreservedly our patients, optometrists and supply partners got on board with our fundraising effort and we're proud to be able to send such a fantastic sum into Christchurch."
