Thank you for considering a gift to the Southern California College of Optometry.

Whether you wish

to give back to the institution and/or the profession,

provide a legacy for your family,

want to make a difference in the lives of others,

or feel it's the right thing for you to do,

your gift, no matter its size, contributes to the

College's Vision of enhancing the quality of life through vision care

and will be a meaningful investment in the future.

• Your gift can move vision care forward. Each new change in vision care brings new challenges – you can move the College above and beyond its present and with it, the future of vision care.
  
  
• Your gift can support the differential. Few are aware that the College relies heavily on the donations of friends – less than 50% of the budget for operations is supported by tuition.
  
  
• Your gift can provide leverage. When corporations and foundations are deciding whether to award grants, they look at the number of alumni, family and friends of the College who contribute as a factor in their decision.
