Birmingham Barons News Release
During the 2013 season, VisionFirst Eye Center has donated $100 for every Barons homerun at Regions Field. The Barons have scored 47 homeruns. The three charities that beneïìÃÂted from the promotion are Better Basics, Camp Smile-a-Mile and Lakeshore Foundation. VisionFirst Eye Center is proud to donate $6,000 to the three charities during the 3rd inning at the play-off game on Thursday, September 5th.
In addition to the VisionFirst promotion, fans still have a chance to win $50,000. A VisionFirst eyeball target is on display on the scoreboard. If a Barons player hits a homerun that lands in the VisionFirst eye ball target, one lucky fan will take home the grand prize. All season, fans have submitted entries at Regions Field with an opportunity to donate to the three charities as part of the VisionFirst promotion.
Dr. Mark Bearman, ophthalmologist at VisionFirst says "WeÊüre proud to be the ofïìÃÂcial eye care provider for the Birmingham Barons. We have enjoyed spreading the word and giving support to these outstanding charities. We feel the partnership with the Barons is a great way to share with the Birmingham community.
