Big House Big Heart
 Want to help the Michigan Eye-Bank in a big way? Join our Big House Big Heart team on October 3rd, and run, walk, wheelchair or stroll your way through 10K, 5K and one mile events – whichever distance you choose finishes on the 50 yard line of the University of Michigan’s famous “Big House” football field. You’ll even be able to see yourself on the Big House jumbotron as you cross the finish line!
Big House Big Heart also has a charitable component, and each participant can choose a charity to support. If you register and join team Michigan Eye-Bank, you can help support our mission to restore sight by collecting tax-deductible donations from your family, friends and co-workers for completing the race.
We will supply all team members with a fundraising kit. Every penny raised by our team will go directly to the Eye-Bank, to provide a second chance for sight to the vision-impaired in Michigan. Our team fundraising goal is $10,000. For more information, contact Chris Dempsey at cdempsey@michiganeyebank.org or (734) 887-2326 or visit www.thebighousebigheart.org.

The Michigan Eye-Bank is a division of Midwest Eye-Banks, a charitable, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the restoration of sight. We recover, evaluate and distribute human eye tissue for transplantation.
As part of our mission, we support preliminary research into the causes and cures of blinding eye conditions. Through public and professional education programs, we encourage people to learn about eye, organ and tissue donation. We believe education is the key to making an informed decision about donation, and is also an important way for us to secure funding for the community services we provide.
We also provide humanitarian aid to those unable to afford transplantation procedures, both at home and abroad, by waiving our service fees when a charitable need exists.
The Michigan Eye-Bank is accredited by the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA).
