Running June 29 through July 10, the ultra-short fundraising campaign will award one winner a custom-built Lexus LX 700h Overtrail featuring third-row seating, premium upgrades by Westcott Designs, and $35,000 in cash, bringing the total prize value to approximately $135,000. The campaign became possible after the original fundraiser winner elected to receive the $100,000 cash-only prize, allowing A Race Against Blindness to offer the vehicle once more to its growing community of supporters. The Lexus LX 700h Overtrail combines luxury, capability, and hybrid performance with thoughtful upgrades from Westcott Designs, making it equally suited for everyday family life and outdoor adventure. The campaign also includes an increased $35,000 cash award, giving the winner added flexibility while eliminating the previous cash-only option. Founded by Arizona parents, Steve and Kristina Johnston, after their son Luke was diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), A Race Against Blindness has become one of the fastest-growing organizations dedicated to inherited retinal diseases. Since launching in 2023, the nonprofit has granted more than $6.1 million to advance gene therapy research and clinical trials for childhood blindness. "Every entry represents someone who believes children deserve the chance to see their future," Johnston said. "We're incredibly grateful for this community and excited to offer one final opportunity to win this remarkable Lexus while helping move vision research forward." The Second Chance Lexus Overtrail fundraiser concludes July 10, with the winner announced shortly thereafter.  To learn more or enter, visit <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=NCSNNMB0r396aJ2K1FDrLajkM5fQkEI7zxVYTN9zXC3svjHh4IltM5Nya9VYEP4dhudKzt8Fpjm7efWUK51YRoLS6E43grVPR1UU3jJfcP2-uCmTNhhzlJ_xTuY-FCN8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">www.ARaceAgainstBlindness.org</a>.
