2024 Gala – Vision Beyond Sight

The journey is just beginning. Join us on Friday, November 8, 2024, for our annual gala, Vision Beyond Sight. Listen as members of our community share their experiences and journeys to independence. Let’s come together to show our support and let them know they are not alone.

 

One of the highlights of our gala and the most thought-provoking experience of the night is Dessert in the Dark. Outlook will provide attendees with sleep shades to sample dessert without sight. This activity encourages reliance on other senses and offers many guests a new perspective, mirroring the challenges faced by individuals living with vision loss.

 

Additionally, we will recognize our Associate and Volunteer of the Year and offer immersive activities, such as beep baseball, Jenga, and putting, for everyone to participate in during the event. Doors open at 5:30 pm.

2023 Vision Beyond Sight Gala

2023 Gala Recap

On the evening of Friday, October 13, we held our annual Vision Beyond Sight Gala at the Marriott Downtown in the Capital District. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our associates, Alex Curtis and Rachel Carver, for graciously sharing their inspiring stories with all in attendance.

We want to express our sincere thanks to all the attendees, volunteers, sponsors, and generous donors. The success of this event, as well as Outlook’s vital work, would not have been possible without your unwavering support. It was a night brimming with moments of joy, tears, and anticipation. During the “Dessert in the Dark” segment, our attendees had the opportunity to empathize with the experience of those who are visually impaired by sampling desserts they couldn’t identify.

This year, our silent auction was a resounding success, thanks to the generous contributions of items and enthusiastic bidding from everyone. Rest assured, we are already working hard to prepare for next year’s event.
