Lindstrom Legacy Gift Club

The ASCRS Foundation Lindstrom Legacy Gift Club, a new initiative aimed at supporting our vision of eradicating preventable blindness leading to full, healthy, and more productive lives for patients in need, just launched in 2024.

Having served as both President of ASCRS and Chair of the ASCRS Foundation Board, Richard L. Lindstrom, MD, has witnessed firsthand the profound impact of our Foundation's work, yet he knows there is much more we can achieve with the steadfast support of committed members.

Here is a message from Dr. Lindstrom:

I invite you to join me in bolstering the ASCRS Foundation by making a gift of $5,000 or more and becoming a founding member of the ASCRS Foundation Lindstrom Legacy Gift Club. My wife, Jaci Lindstrom, and I have pledged $300,000 as our initial legacy gift.

By joining the ASCRS Foundation Lindstrom Legacy Gift Club, you demonstrate your dedication to the ASCRS Foundation’s mission of educating, providing resources to, and empowering the eye health community to serve and deliver humanitarian ophthalmic surgery and care in the U.S. and internationally. Membership in this exclusive group also includes special recognition and privileges at ASCRS meetings.

Your personally significant gift may be in the form of cash donations, planned gifts, bequests, or a combination of your choice. Your contribution will ensure the sustainability and expansion of Operation Sight, along with global educational initiatives that the ASCRS Foundation offers, benefiting future generations of surgeons and local patients in need.
