Since 2013, Sofia Sees Hope has raised over $400,000 to
drive awareness, fund research for diagnosis and cures for
blindness, and support the rare inherited retinal disease
community through advocacy and outreach efforts.
“Dinner in the Dark is a chance
for others to experience just
a tiny bit of how my daughter
lives her life without sight in
a fun, safe way, while helping
us to raise funds for research
so that my daughter, or my
daughter’s children, may one
day be able to see.”
- Heather Drury
Caregiver
“We really enjoyed participating
in Sofia Sees Hope’s Dinner
in the Dark event. It not only
gave us a hands on perspective
of what it means to live with
visual impairment, but the
work the group is doing to
raise awareness of living with
inherited retinal diseases
is critical to better diagnosis
and research.”
“My wife, our sons and I met
great people at Dinner in the
Dark. It was interesting to
experience what it is like to not
have sight. It was also a great
relief to remove our blindfolds
and see again. Unfortunately,
many people can’t simply
remove a blindfold. This event
raises money to find a cure for
blindness. With everyone’s
help, maybe someday those
who don’t have sight will be
able to see.”
