With more and more teens participating in contact sports and the growing need for the right gear to give them a competitive edge on and off the field, leading global contact lens manufacturer CooperVision is sponsoring Gear Up Grants, an exciting new program that will give away $25,000 in grants to ensure that community teams and athletes have what’s necessary to be at the top of their game – from the right sports equipment to fitted contact lenses. Ten grants in total will be awarded, and submissions will be accepted from May 4th, 2010 – June 25th, 2010 online at mycontactsports.com To help spread the word to teens about these grants, CooperVision has teamed up with BMX biking phenom and Dew Tour winner Daniel Dhers and gold-medal-winning soccer star Heather O'Reilly. Both Daniel and Heather are sharing their dynamic story on how changing to contact lenses helped give them the competitive edge they needed to excel – not only enhancing their vision, but also boosting their
confidence levels. Life is a contact sport – gear up!
