About

Outlook Enrichment welcomes you on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at our annual gala, Vision Beyond Sight. This year’s theme, Illuminating Brilliance, honors the resilience and impact of the clients, associates, and volunteers whose voices and impact shape our community. Join us for an evening of inspiration, connection, and powerful storytelling, a reminder that no one faces vision loss alone.

Together, we’ll raise awareness, fund innovative resources, and support inclusive opportunities that foster independence, education, and creative expression. Through this event, we aim to shine a light on the brilliance within every person, regardless of sight.

Event Details

One of the most impactful and memorable moments of our gala is Dessert in the Dark. During this unique experience, guests are invited to wear sleep shades while sampling dessert, challenging them to rely on their other senses. This immersive activity provides a powerful insight into the daily realities faced by individuals with vision loss, fostering awareness and a deeper appreciation for our mission.

Additionally, we will honor our Associate and Volunteer of the Year, as well as our Peter J. Salmon Award Nominee, and offer immersive activities for all guests to enjoy throughout the evening. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and business casual attire is encouraged.

Please note that registration will close on Friday, October 24, 2025.
