Dining in the Dark is a distinctive sensory awareness experience in which guests participate in an unforgettable dining adventure, in complete darkness. To get first-hand insight into the challenges of the blind community, diners will wear special light-blocking masks and eat their entrée using only their heightened senses of smell, sound, taste and touch.
The Foundation Fighting Blindness, a national nonprofit focused on sight-saving research, will present its Visionary Award to the honorable Sharon Hale. The event will raise awareness about the impact of sight loss by giving guests a unique, first-hand glimpse into the lives of the visually impaired. It will also benefit the Foundation’s research into preventions, treatments and cures for blinding retinal degenerative diseases including macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa that affect more than 10 million Americans, young and old.
Serving as Master of Ceremonies will be WCCO-TV (CBS 4) News Anchor Frank Vascellaro.
Individual tickets are available for $250 each and sponsorship packages begin at $2,500
