Vision Beyond Sight 2026 Gala

Join us as we celebrate the enduring American spirit, honoring both the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 and the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. This special evening will recognize the bravery, resilience, and unity that define our nation while reaffirming our commitment to individuals navigating vision loss today.

Many of our clients describe feeling alone on their journey. Together, we can remind them that, much like America itself, they never stand alone. Through community, support, and opportunity, we continue to empower individuals of all ages living with vision loss to live with confidence, independence, and hope.

• We are honored to welcome Jeffrey E. Mittman, President & CEO of Bosma Enterprises and a Presidential Appointee to the U.S. AbilityOne Commission, as our featured guest speaker. A retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant, decorated military veteran, and nationally recognized advocate for employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities, Jeff’s life has been defined by service and resilience.
• Each year, Dessert in the Dark offers guests a unique and memorable way to experience our mission. While wearing sleep shades, you’ll enjoy dessert without sight and discover how the other senses come alive. This signature gala tradition provides a thoughtful opportunity to reflect on accessibility, inclusion, and the perspectives of those living with vision loss.
