As part of its charitable giving arm, Shady Rays Impact, the company is donating a total of 9,000 pairs of blue-light glasses, valued at $396,000, to nurses and hospital staff in recognition of their dedication, resilience, and continued service to their communities. "Healthcare professionals give so much of themselves every single day, often in ways the public never sees," Shady Rays CEO Chris Ratterman said. "Through Shady Rays Impact, we're proud to recognize and support nurses in a meaningful way - providing something that not only says 'thank you,' but also helps them in their day-to-day lives." The initiative coincides with Nurses Week, a nationally recognized celebration honoring the critical role nurses play in patient care and community health. Each participating nurse will receive a complimentary pair of Shady Rays blue light glasses, designed to reduce eye strain from prolonged screen exposure - an increasingly common challenge in modern healthcare environments. In addition to the in-hospital distribution, Shady Rays is extending its appreciation beyond the workplace. Nurses who participate in the program will also receive an exclusive invitation to visit the brand's retail location at Shady Rays Kierland Commons, where they can enjoy 35% off all sunglasses through June 15, 2026. Shady Rays Impact, the company's charitable initiative, focuses on giving back through product donations, community partnerships, and purpose-driven campaigns. This latest effort builds on the brand's broader mission to combine high-quality products with meaningful social impact. "Our goal has always been bigger than just selling sunglasses," added Ratterman. "It's about showing up for communities in ways that matter - and this is one of those moments." Sponsored video.
