🌅 Giveaway Alert! 🌅

In honor of International Color Blindness Awareness Month, we’ve partnered with EnChroma to give away TWO pairs of EnChroma glasses! 🎉 One pair is for indoor use and one pair for outdoor use – both are designed to help those with color blindness see the world in a whole new light!

👓 How to Enter:

1. Comment below and tell us how receiving a pair of these EnChroma glasses (retail value: $229) would positively impact your life, or the life of a loved one.

2. Let us know which pair you’d like: Indoor (for Deutan and Protan color blindness) or Outdoor (for Deutan color blindness only).

Note: This giveaway is for non-prescription glasses. If you wear contact lenses or only need glasses for reading or driving, you’re eligible!

📅 Giveaway ends on 9/30/24 at 11:59 PM PT and a winner will be contacted by our official Portland Spirit account. This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Facebook.

🌍 Did you know?

1 in 10 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women (.5%) are color blind – that’s 13 million people in the U.S., 30 million in Europe, and 350 million worldwide! People with red-green Color Vision Deficiency (CVD, or “color blindness”) only see about 10% of the one million hues and shades visible to those with normal color vision. Many people with color blindness don’t find out until after 7th grade, and nearly 20% not until after high school!

At the Portland Spirit, we support educating the public about color blindness and its effects.

Help us raise awareness this September by sharing this post and tagging anyone you know experiencing color blindness.
