Join us for Hope in Focus’ summer-long fundraiser!
This community-driven event brings people together to raise funds and awareness for Hope in Focus and our mission to advance the development of treatments for rare inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), including Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA).

Every event helps support Hope in Focus’s mission to provide education, advocacy, and support for the IRD community while advancing progress toward future treatments.

Dinner in the Dark

October 24, 2026 • Foxwoods Resort and Casino, Mashantucket, CT

Our primary fundraiser for the year, this event is a true culinary adventure! You will enjoy a gourmet dinner while wearing a blindfold, and we keep the menu secret.

Come learn about the exciting ways we are working to transform the lives of those without sight. Be prepared for a unique sensory adventure, good food, fun, and dancing to live music.
