Since then\, a member of Congress has continued the tradition and reads a proclamation into the Congressional Record each March. This year\, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Representative Joseph Pitts (R-PA) will enter proclamations into the Senate and House of Representatives\, respectively\, proclaiming March 2012 as National Eye Donor Month.

The cosmetics line will contribute five percent of sales from all eye products purchased between November 1\, 2011 and January 1\, 2012 to the Georgia Eye Bank. An organization that continues to help so many\, the Georgia Eye Bank provides corneas for transplant and other refractive surgeries\, sclera for glaucoma and oculplastic surgeries and human eye tissue for sight-saving research and training. 29's Gift of Sight Give-Back Program is a tribute to Mondavi's paternal grandfather\, Y.T. Abernathy. The driving force behind Georgia Eye Bank's maturation\, Abernathy elevated the Eye Bank from its developmental stage to become one of the most highly respected eye banks in the United States. Dedicated to community service and helping those without sight\, Abernathy received the auspicious Heise Award in 1985\, an honor presented to non-medical eye bankers in recognition of their outstanding devotion to the Eye Bank Association of America. Throughout the course of his life\, Abernathy was able to give the gift of sight to more than 15\,000 people\, and today he serves as the inspiration for 29's commitment to community outreach. 29 will donate five percent of sales from the following eye products from November 1\, 2011 to January 1\, 2012 to the Georgia Eye Bank. Products can be purchased online or through Neiman Marcus\, Cos Bar and Saks 5th Avenue.
