A gift to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness is a wonderful way to acknowledge the people we love, cherish and respect. A memorial card is sent to the family and/or friend of the deceased and an honor card is sent to person(s) specified by the contributor for a special occasion (in honor of an anniversary, birthday, special event, achievement, appreciation, recovery). The amount of the gift is not given. Contributors receive an acknowledgment of their gift.

Thank you to the Clark-Halladay Memorial Foundation for its continued and generous support of the work of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. The Clark-Halladay Memorial Foundation perpetuates the memory of Emma Clark Halladay; her husband, John Burlingame-Halladay; her father, Warren Thomas Clark; and her mother, Sophia Symington Clark, all pioneer residents of the city of Chicago.
