The Arizona Chapter of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is proud to present Arizona Dining in the Dark - Sunday, November 6, 2022, at The Showcase Room in Tempe. This spectacular event will celebrate the impact and leadership of our Arizona Chapter of Foundation Fighting Blindness and take guests through a unique sensory and dining in the dark – all while raising critical funds and awareness to further our mission of saving and restoring sight.

Established in 1971 by a passionate group of families driven to find treatments and cures for inherited retinal diseases that were affecting their loved ones, the Foundation Fighting Blindness' goal was clear and focused: to drive research that would lead to preventions, treatments, and cures for blinding retinal diseases. The Foundation Fighting Blindness is the world’s leading private funder of retinal disease research, raising over $875 million since our founding, and is a catalyst for innovative vision science.

Events like Arizona Dining in the Dark help the Foundation invest in research projects conducted by the world’s top scientists who have achieved remarkable success that will forever change the lives of people affected by blinding retinal diseases. We are encouraged by this incredible progress, but there is still much work to be done and you can help.

We are reaching out to you in hopes you will support our Arizona Dining in the Dark by donating a gift certificate or item for our silent auction.

The Arizona Dining in the Dark auction will play a crucial role in raising the necessary funds for the Foundation to provide a beacon of hope for those affected with blinding diseases and will help drive groundbreaking research that provides preventions, treatments, and cures. Each in-kind donation is tax deductible with the Foundation’s Federal Tax ID #23-7135845.

We hope you consider donating an item to help support this important event.
