2027 Hamilton Eye Institute Race For Sight 5K
Join us for the tenth annual Brad Baker Honorary Race for Sight 5K to benefit the Hamilton Eye Institute Lions Club! The Hamilton Eye Institute Lions Club is a 501(c) non-profit organization with a mission to provide eye care for those less fortunate in the Mid-South region and abroad!

Right here in Memphis we successfully completed the 2026 Cataractathon, restoring vision for more than 20 patients who otherwise would not have had access to care!
