A spokesperson said, :”Our population is an aging one, and the need for an increased standard of care for this segment of our population is quite pressing. We, at the Bermuda International Eye Institute, Ltd., believe that if each of us “does a little” collectively we have accomplished a lot.
“Hence, we have decided that the recipient of the proceeds of our race event will be Age Concern again this year. Celebrating our 10th year, the Eye Institute Classic has become a well established and greatly anticipated race event in Bermuda.”
