Five-year-old Brendan Hepner, above with his father Myron, lost his eye to the disease retinoblastoma when he was 9 months old. To raise awareness and funds to support research at the Kellogg Eye Center, which treated Brendan, the March Madness Against Blindness fund-raising event will take place March 20 and 21 at Damon’s Grill, 3150 Boardwalk, Ann Arbor. Myron, who started the fundraiser last year, has pledged to watch all 32 games of the first round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in exchange for donations.
