$50,000 Gift Names McCarty Center at Eye Care Center
 |
| Dr. Rebecca Kammer and Kathryn McCarty cut the ribbon to the technology center at the recent Dedication Ceremony. |
Kathryn T. McCarty has a bevy of friends and associates in the Fullerton community. Many of her philanthropic interests have been sparked by her altruistic approach to life and her experience with friends and non-profit organizations. She has several close friends with macular degeneration and a technology center bearing her name will aid those with this and other sight-robbing conditions.
"I want to help those in need," she said when asked why she made a gift of $50,000 to fund the Kathryn T. McCarty Adaptive Technology Center at the Eye Care Center, Southern California College of Optometry (SCCO) in Fullerton. The gift will extend the mission of the Mary Ann Keverline Walls Low Vision Rehabilitation Center at the Eye Care Center by providing additional means for independent living.
