Join us as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Dining in the Dark, CABVI’s signature fundraising gala known for its immersive themes, unforgettable experiences, and meaningful impact. This year’s theme, Follow the Yellow Brick Road, invites guests into the timeless world of Oz while supporting CABVI’s mission to empower people who are blind or visually impaired with opportunities to seek independence.

Guests will experience dining under a blindfold while enjoying an evening filled with the wonder, adventure, and nostalgia of Oz. Every year, Dining in the Dark transforms into a completely new experience, making each event unique while bringing our community together in support of CABVI.

Whether you’re returning for another unforgettable evening or joining us for the first time, we invite you to celebrate this special milestone with us as we continue a decade-long tradition of creativity, connection, and giving back.

Tickets go on sale October 1 at $190 per person or $1,600 for a table of ten. More event details are still to come, so stay tuned as we continue our journey down the Yellow Brick Road!
