MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Epicur Pharma® is thrilled to announce its continued namesake sponsorship of the ACVO®/Epicur Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening (ACVO-SAVES) for the 2025 event. Epicur has been a dedicated supporter of this remarkable event since 2014 and has secured the bid to be the official namesake sponsor of the ACVO-SAVES event through 2027.
Formerly known as the ACVO/Epicur National Service Animal Eye Exam Event, this philanthropic event is held annually in May to provide free, sight-saving screening eye exams to Service and Working Animals across the globe. The exams are provided by the board-certified Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) who volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that these incredible animals maintain good eye health.
From guiding individuals with visual impairments to assisting in search and rescue operations, Service and Working Animals have crucial jobs, and their eye health is vital to their ability to perform these essential tasks. The ACVO-SAVES event allows handlers to secure a baseline of eye health for their animals and exemplifies the heart of the veterinary industry. Now in its 15th year, ACVO's volunteer Diplomates have provided approximately 86,000 complimentary eye screenings throughout the USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, and the UK since its first year. During last year's event, over 5,500 animals received free eye exams thanks to the dedication of 265 ACVO Diplomates who volunteered their time and resources.
"Epicur Pharma is honored to extend our continued support for the ACVO/Epicur Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening Event. We are deeply committed to advancing the health and well-being of animals, and we recognize the vital role that early detection and treatment of eye conditions play in the long-term care of Service and Working Animals. Our dedication to excellence in veterinary medicine aligns seamlessly with the mission of this event, ensuring that these exceptional animals receive the highest standard of care to continue their important work," said Michael Tursi, President of Epicur Pharma.
ACVO Executive Director Stacee Daniel said, "The ACVO is honored to accept the three-year sponsorship bid from Epicur in support of the ACVO-SAVES program. It is apparent that Epicur's consistent dedication and active involvement in this philanthropic event have been a long-standing priority for the company. Our Diplomates enjoy Epicur's contributions to the program and respect their deep connection with the Service and Working Animal community. ACVO extends gratitude to Epicur for their generosity in supporting this fantastic program."
