Attendance and donations by you is the key to our success which help in making it possible for us to continue providing this much needed therapies and vision screening for children. Since its inception in 1950, well over one million children state wide have been provided therapies at no cost to their families. In San Diego alone, 770 therapy visits and 180 preschool vision screening sites are provided on average each year, including 2 children currently receiving occupational therapy right here in our very own town of Encinitas. This program is funded entirely by donations from Elks members and friends like you of the California- Hawaii Elks Association.
