The show, presented by Village Motors Auto Sales, raises money to help support CABVI’s Vehicles for Vision program. Over the past 37 years, more than 17,000 vehicles have been donated through the program. The proceeds all contribute to CABVI’s programs and services.
Dark Dining
October 26, 2024
Dark Dining is a fine dining experience that benefits programs and services provided by CABVI. The event raises awareness about visual impairments by allowing guests to experience a night with senses other than sight. Guests eat a delicious, multi-course meal while wearing blindfolds that simulate different visual impairments such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Dark Dining raised nearly $1 million towards programs and services for blind and visually impaired individuals.
