Jackson Blackford is one of five children in the entire world to be selected for a research study using umbilical cord stem cells.
Jackson was born with "Optic Nerve Hypoplasia," which left him blind.

The Greenwood High School Concert Band and Choir will perform at First Baptist Church.
Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under.
All proceeds go toward medical expenses.
Jackson's mother, Rachael Stayer, is an alumnus of Greenwood High.
