2012 Fashion Ball

Taking place on May 30th, 2012, the 2nd Annual Fashion Ball: Dining in the Dark was a truly magical evening.  The event raised over $380,000 for the Foundation Fighting Blindness and featured speeches from Event Chair and Board Director, Evan Mittman, Event Chair, Jill Granoff and keynote speaker, Andy Hilfiger.  Two hundred and thirty guests were also treated to an awe inspiring performance from visually impaired musician, Blessing Offor.  The evening was capped off by the Foundation’s signature dining in the dark experience, where thirty visually impaired waiters served the audience in pitch back darkness.  The event, which took place at the Plaza Hotel in NYC raised awareness and much needed research dollars for retinal diseases.
