The Life You Can Save and The Fred Hollows Foundation, in collaboration with the American Australian Association, invite you to a fireside chat in New York City on March 19th, 2026.

Join us for an evening of conversation and connection as we hear from Ross Piper, the Foundation’s CEO, and leaders from both organizations on the work being done to end avoidable blindness, and what it means for the communities we serve.

The WHO reports that 2.2 billion people suffer from vision impairment, with at least one billion facing challenges that are preventable. This evening brings that reality closer and shows how your support is making a difference.

The agenda for the evening

  • A conversation on how to end avoidable blindness and the future of global eye health
  • A closer look at why restoring sight is one of the most cost-effective interventions in global health
  • A special video message from author, philanthropist, and Co-Founder Peter Singer
  • Drinks, light bites, and the chance to connect with fellow donors who share a commitment to effective giving
