About The Event

The Gift of Vision is more than a night out—it’s a powerful evening of purpose, generosity, and impact. This year marks our first gala as a fully independent nonprofit, giving us the freedom to fund research faster, work more directly with scientists, and focus every effort on finding treatments that can protect and restore vision for children and young adults affected by Usher syndrome—a rare genetic disease causing profound hearing loss and rapidly progressing vision loss.

Guests will enjoy spirited auctions, a seasonal chef-catered dinner, and a curated selection of exceptional craft beers and premium wines from Sonoma and Napa. The evening also includes updates on the groundbreaking research you help make possible—and the opportunity to push emerging treatments closer to reality.
