Revo, the leader in high-performance polarized sunglasses, is proud to announce its continued partnership with the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) during its #EyeGetDilated Ocular Melanoma Awareness Month campaign this November.
Revo will host a variety of in-store and online promotions, with proceeds benefitting the MRF and supporting its mission to raise awareness and fund research for ocular melanoma (OM), the most common primary eye tumor in adults.
Throughout November, Revo’s flagship SoHo store in New York City will feature a special “Shop and Give” campaign. A portion of all in-store sales will be donated to the MRF to support OM research, education, and advocacy efforts during its November #EyeGetDilated ocular melanoma awareness month campaign.
For online customers, Revo is offering an exclusive promotion: Take 20% off all sunglasses purchased at Revo.com using the code MRF20. This offer is valid through December 31, 2024, allowing customers to shop for a cause while enjoying the superior UV protection of Revo’s world-class eyewear.
As part of the month-long campaign, Revo will also host an event on Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at the SoHo store. The event will bring together OM survivors and medical professionals to discuss the role of protective eyewear and the importance of regular annual dilated eye exams as the best way to early detect OM. The evening will serve as a platform to raise awareness about this rare but serious disease while celebrating the ongoing partnership between Revo and the MRF.
“Our partnership with the Melanoma Research Foundation reflects Revo’s unwavering commitment to protecting eyes from harmful UV rays while supporting life-saving research,” said Cliff Robinson, CEO of Revo. “By joining forces with the MRF, we are not only advocating for sun safety but also helping to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of ocular melanoma. We’re honored to give back to this cause and invite our customers to participate through these special promotions.”
Ocular melanoma affects nearly 2,000 people in the U.S. each year, and in its early stages, it can have few or no symptoms. Regular dilated eye exams are critical for early detection. As part of its ongoing commitment, the MRF encourages everyone, even those with no vision problems, to make a dilated eye exam part of their annual wellness routine through its #EyeGetDilated campaign. Revo’s polarized lenses offer essential protection against UV light, making them a vital tool for eye health and melanoma prevention.
