What is the Eye5k?
The Eye5k is an annual 5k race hosted by SVOSH at Southern College of Optometry, an organization of nearly 150 student-doctors and doctors who travel annually to countries in Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean, to provide underprivileged people with free eye exams and glasses. Proceeds benefit their efforts in covering travel expenses for the trips.
