UR Sustainable

Take a look at some of the creativity these departments brought to our eyeglass donation competition last year! Throughout June, your department can set up a collection box for used eyeglasses that are no longer needed. But there’s a twist! The department with the most eyeglasses collected or the most eye-catching box design will win a prize! For full details on our event and to sign your department up, check out the link in our bio!

Wondering about the annual eyeglasses collection event?👓 It's here!! Throughout June, donate your no-longer-needed eyeglasses by drop-off, mail-in, or by participating in a departmental competition! Departments can sign up to create a collection box, and prizes will be awarded for the most pairs collected and for the most eye-catching box design.

Last year, we collected 4,265 pairs of eyeglasses! Can we set a new record this year??
