How Can I Support the Illinois Eye-Bank and the Illinois Eye-Bank, Watson Gailey?
There are many ways to show your support for the Illinois Eye-Bank (IEB) and the Illinois Eye-Bank, Watson Gailey’s (IEBWG) mission to restore and preserve sight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make a Charitable Contribution
Financial support is one of the most powerful ways of bringing the gift of restored sight into the community. Your contribution can help us place corneal tissue where it is needed most. It can be the foundation of new and effective means of educating the public about eye, organ and tissue donation. It can also fund groundbreaking eye and vision research, offering new hope to those who cannot be helped by corneal transplantation. It empowers us to provide our services at little or no charge to those who cannot afford the healthcare costs associated with corneal transplantation.
A secure online contribution is the quickest and easiest way to show your support for our mission, and to make a difference in the lives of others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be an Eye Donor
Becoming a registered eye, organ and tissue donor is the most important way to ensure our mission can be fulfilled. If not for these special gifts from cornea donors, the sight restoring efforts of the IEB and the IEBWG would not be possible. You can learn how to join your own state’s Donor Registry by visiting our I Joined! homepage.

Become an Eye-Bank Ambassador
Our Ambassador Program brings together eye donor families, transplant recipients and others whose lives have been touched by eye, organ and tissue donation. Ambassadors support the Eye-Bank by volunteering at special events, distributing educational materials and reaching out within their own communities. They are always looking for new ways to support our mission to restore sight. For more information, contact the IEB and the IEBWG at (800) 548-4703.
