Texas Christian University baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle and his wife, Kami, have established the RB Eye Foundation to raise community awareness and support for patient care, diagnostic testing and research pertaining to vision-threatening disease in children and to generate funding for the Child Vision Center in Fort Worth.
The inaugural fundraising effort - "Eye on the Ball" - was held in October at River Ranch in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
"My children, Jackson and Kati, each have some vision issues related to their retina, and it has sent us on an amazing journey all over the country to find the best treatment and diagnosis," Schlossnagle said.
"We have found an amazing facility and doctor at the University of Iowa, and we want to try and help the Child Vision Center here in Fort Worth provide the same kind of elite treatment that this great city deserves," he said. "This could be really awesome for the children of Tarrant County."
