EYE PRO, Inc. — makers of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers and world leader in disposable eyewear — were pleased to help Captain Video & Tanning with their annual SPRING FLING fundraiser for the local Humane Society of North Wilkesboro, NC.

“We offered $1.00 tans ALL DAY on March 21st, cooked a pig Hawaiian-style, and listened to Jimmy Buffet while drinking margaritas in the parking lot,”  said Captain Video & Tanning owner, Tim Bennett. “We provided the Humane Society with a tent to show animals that needed a good home all day, with all proceeds donated to the local humane society.”

“EYE PRO was thrilled to support a salon that planned out such an extravagant event — all in the name of helping animals,”  said Director of Customer Support & Education, Renee Lofland.   “EYE PRO sent 200 zippies pouches loaded with free samples of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers disposable eyewear, as well as FRESH EASE Refreshing Body Cloths for after tanning for Captain Video & Tanning to hand out to every tanner attending the event.”

Said Bennett, “The day was a huge hit!  Most importantly, we raised $800 and the Shelter was able to find nine animals a home — we set a record!”

“I was standing in the lobby of a tanning salon recently, when the salon professional asked to see a tanner’s eyewear. The tanner said she didn’t wear goggles. The salon pro replied, “You can get cataracts from tanning without eye protection.” The tanner kind of shrugged and headed back to her tanning room – with no eyewear – clearly believing that cataracts are what happen to her grandma, not to her.”

EYE PRO, Inc. — makers of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers and world leader in disposable eyewear — were pleased to help raise awareness of the second World Glaucoma Day, a joint worldwide initiative held on March 12, 2009 (www.wgday.net).

“World Glaucoma Day started in the United Kingdom as a way to raise awareness of a disease that destroys vision,” says EYE PRO president, Brenda Fishbaugh.

EYE PRO notified their “V-EYE-P” salon members by email.  Any salon member that responded received free samples of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers disposable eyewear, as well as EYE PRO’s counter mat to help educate tanners about the importance of wearing eye protection when tanning.

“Our version of World Glaucoma Day was so successful, we would like to extend our offer to non-members.  If a salon emails us at Jackie@eyepro.net, they will receive free samples and free educational materials.”

A Christmas gift came early this year to EYE PRO and Black Pine Animal Park when EYE PRO President Brenda Fishbaugh was visiting Heartland Distributors’ Georgia location.

During Brenda’s eye education training, she had shared dozens of photos of rescued endangered animals, all of which were rescued with the tanning industry’s help.  Afterwards, the staff presented Brenda with a Christmas card.  “When I opened the card, dollar bills fell out onto the floor!” exclaimed Fishbaugh.  “The Georgia Heartland staff had donated $140 of their own money towards our endangered animal rescues!  I was absolutely stunned!”

The Georgia Heartland team, led by John Fromme, asked Brenda to donate the funds to her favorite animal charity.  Brenda chose Black Pine Animal Park in Albion, Indiana.  “Heartland’s donation is very helpful for Black Pine, who relies on donations to feed dozens of tigers, bears, lions and other rescued or retired circus performers.  Winter is always a challenging time financially,” explained Fishbaugh.  “Although we personally work with a half dozen organizations around the world, we have worked closely with this exotic animal sanctuary for over a decade and I used to be a tour guide there. What an incredible gift!”

No, it’s not a typo.  EYE PRO, Inc. , makers of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers and world leader in disposable eyewear, helped to support a fundraiser that started in Australia called “Movember.”  Movember is held in the month of November, and men start out clean-shaven.  “Mo Bros” grow a moustache all month, collecting donations for their efforts, which goes to support prostate cancer research.

EYE PRO was contacted by famous tiger handler, Patrick Martin-Vegue, who manages Tiger Island in Australia. All the tiger handlers formed a team to raise funds.  EYE PRO President Brenda Fishbaugh said, “The EYE PRO girls were happy to contribute to such a fun event on the other side of the world, while helping to support cancer research.”

Martin-Vegue rewarded the Wink-Ease women (called “Mo Sistas”) with a photo of him and his moustache.  His note said, “Here is a photo of me with my pathetic moustache.  I hope it can raise a bit of money and raise awareness for a very worthy cause.”

Indoor tanning professionals enjoyed a rare glimpse of Tacoma, Wash.-based Point Defiance Zoo’s endangered clouded leopards during a behind-the-scenes tour arranged by Brenda Fishbaugh, president of Eye Pro, Inc. The company sponsors Point Defiance Zoo and the clouded leopard project.

Mark Monopoli, Joyce Monopoli and Liz Perkins of Tan West International, Denaye Narte of Fiji Blend, Scott Eggers of Australian Gold and Danielle Ardito of Performance Brands, Inc. joined Fishbaugh and Point Defiance tiger handler Andy Goldfarb for the tour.

“We were all able to pet Yukon, a Canadian lynx that Eye Pro purchased for the zoo four years ago,” Fishbaugh says. “Yukon is part of the education program at the zoo and visits local schools in the area, and also performs in the award-winning Wild Wonders program.”

Eye Pro is a regular contributor to zoos and animal sanctuaries around the world, and a portion of every sale at the company goes to help exotic and endangered animals.
