As a LASIK vision correction surgeon here in Manhattan, Dr. Chynn has participated in numerous benefit auctions and raffles, supporting many worthwhile charities.
Dr. Chynn has donated discounted LASIK to be auctioned or raffled off for
numerous worthwhile causes, including the Dartmouth Club on New York, a private
elementary school, an organization raising funds to help train bomb-sniffing
dogs in Israel, and V-Day (an organization to help stop violence against women).
If you have a worthwhile cause, Dr. Chynn would be happy to support your
effort by donating two (2) coupons for $1000 off LASIK vision correction, to
be auctioned or raffled.

Dear Dr. Chynn,
I would like to thank you for your donation of a free LASIK procedure valued
at $3,000 to MSMI, Inc. We raised $2,245 from a raffle for the procedure ($20
per ticket and $50 for 3). We had 57 participants and 126 total raffle entries.
This funding is crucial for our March 24-31, 2007 Medical Service Trip to
Belize. In conjunction with the NGO ProBelize, we will see over 2,000 patients
in five clinic days (~1% of the total Belize population). Fundraisers such
as these help to defray costs of transportation, medical supplies, and other
program fees.
You can see updates on our work at www.msmi.info.
Again, thank you for your donation.
