Walman Optical

Charitable giving and community involvement have always been core values of Walman. The optical company has been a strong supporter of Essilor Vision Foundation for many years, from sponsoring the annual golf tournament to CEO Marty Bassett dedicating his time to serve on the Board of Directors. EVF is excited to once again be aligning our missions for the Kids with a Vision program.


“The Kids With a Vision program gives our customers the chance to engage in a more meaningful way in philanthropy and giving back to their communities. We see it as an opportunity for them to build their brands, create greater awareness and recognition for the importance of optical health, and have a direct impact on kids in their communities.”

– Marty Bassett, President & CEO Walman

Partner Since 2008
