In 2019 we held our 10th annual Black Ties & Blindfolds! We are so grateful to everyone for coming out to support this great cause.

She spends her days ensuring people with visual impairments can live their lives to the fullest! We also paid tribute to James Gooding, MOMS for Sight Director, whose life ended too soon. We are thankful for his support over the years and his family will always be part of the MOMS for Sight family!
