2012 Minneapolis Dining in the Dark

The Foundation Fighting Blindness hosted the inaugural Minneapolis Dining in the Dark Visionary Awards Dinner on Wednesday, May 23 at the Marquette Hotel, Minneapolis.  The Foundation proudly honored Matt Clysdale, President Maguire Agency and Dr. Raymond Iezzi, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Mayo Clinic.  The event was co-chaired by Mark Valenziano and Julie Anderson.

The ballroom was filled with over 200 guests and raised over $86,000 to support the critical research toward finding a cure for blindness.

The evening began with a cocktail reception, followed by the awards presentation and dinner.  The evening provided guests with an unforgettable dining experience, taking them through a unique journey of tastes, sounds and touch, all in the dark.
