What is Visions for Tomorrow?

It takes a concerted effort from many to accomplish the goals that Syfy Channel has set for its Visions for Tomorrow campaign. The initiative is fortunate to have partners that believe deeply in the power of the individual to effect change and that seek to sustain the mission through education, technology, and creative thinking.
