The mission of the Kiato Raymond and Helen Holderle Vision Foundation is to improve the lives of others through general philanthropy, funding of eye disease research, and providing access to advanced vision correction and cataract surgery to those who otherwise do not have the means. We are committed to providing opportunity, ensuring everyone has the chance to see clearly and live fully.
The Kiato Foundation was founded by the family of Matt Hirabayashi MD. It is named after the town of Kiato, north of Corinthia in the Peloponnese, Greece. It was this town that Helen Holderle's father left to find opportunity in America. Our mission is also to provide the opportunity for a better life.
The Kiato Foundation is in the process of formation as a nonprofit organization and fundraising. We are excited to serve others soon.
