We exist to restore hope when hope may have been lost.

The Ripple Effect program honors the eye tissue donor and their family for the gift(s) they gave to help another in need.  The Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank (RMLEB) recognizes and honors a family's decision to give the gift of sight to a stranger during their grief.

Forget-Me-Not Seeds

Forget-Me-Not seeds remind us of the generous donors we never want to forget and will be remembered year after year when a new bloom appears.

The forget-me-not blooms serve as a tribute to honor a life lost, a loved one, or someone dear to us. They remind us of the lasting altruistic decision to be an eye tissue donor in the hopes of helping another. A decision that embodies everlasting kindness and hope for others in need. A decision that creates a ripple effect in our lives, families, and greater communities.

RMLEB is grateful to each eye tissue donor and their family. We honor their donation decision by sending this small token with each outcome letter.

Hope Stones

Hope Stones are soft, polished stones engraved with the word "Hope" to hold space for the donor family's loved one who donated. The stone gives a home to their memory, and the donation made possible by saying 'yes' to being a donor.

With the Hope Stone, each donor family can hold a solid, physical representation of their loved one's donation legacy. Just like a stone dropped into a pond, giving the gift of donation creates an ever-widening ripple effect on the world around us. 

"While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things is extraordinary."
