Run for charity

Join the Eye Care Foundation team on Sunday 21 September and start your run with a friendly welcome at Café in de Wildeman.

Here you will receive a nice running shirt and you can experience the comfort of not having to queue at the clothing drop-off.

The ECF team will bring your belongings to Zaandam themselves.
Experience the vibrant atmosphere along the course.
Look forward to the welcome of the ECF team at the OMC, Zaandam, 50 meters after the finish.
Enjoy a great leg massage from our own sports masseurs
And: relax with a beer to the dazzling music of the ‘Accu’ fanfare.

Personal donations

Gifts are always welcome. With large gifts and donations, we cannot help people with eye problems. For just €35, we can perform an eye exam and give someone a pair of prescription glasses. Donations can be made once or frequently. Stopping is easy.

Corporate support

Companies can also contribute to better eye care. We are open to collaborating with companies who want to financially, practically and systematically support our charity. Together, we can tackle a real problem and work cost-efficiently and sustainably. Every collaboration is tailored, so let’s talk.

Together for better vision

Eye Care Foundation actively provides essential eye care to disadvantaged and disenfranchised communities in Asia, South America and Africa. With the support of monetary donations and the work of volunteers, our foundation offers eye exams, treatments, and operations to people who otherwise don’t have access to this crucial care. By working together and sharing knowledge, know-how and access – we can ensure a better vision for everyone.
