  The Trolley Run is the largest annual fundraiser for the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired. In its 20 year history, the Trolley Run has grown from 778 runners/walkers and netting $13,000 in 1989 to 9,962 entrants, 600 volunteers and netting $484,000 for CCVI in 2008.
  
  The idea for this fundraiser was presented to the Friends of CCVI by the former Michael Forbes Restaurants, Inc., which owned two restaurants, four miles apart in the heart of Kansas City from Waldo to the Plaza. The 4-mile course follows the old streetcar/trolley tracks and hence, the name, Trolley Run! In 2001 the Trolley Run welcomed a new Title Sponsor, the Sabates Eye Centers.
