A Night of Inspirations
November 17, 2021
Celebrating People Who Embody the Spirit of Service, Giving, and Leadership
Over 140 people attended this inspirational event in honor of members and supporters of the Lighthouse Guild Community. They included: vision scientists Dr. Gerrit Melles, 2020 Bressler Prize recipient, and Dr. Philip Kiser, 2020 Pisart Award recipient, whose work will change the lives of people with vision loss. Scholarship recipients who are visually impaired and have pursued their academic dreams despite challenges, including a pandemic. Finally, our volunteer honorees were recognized for their service and achievements. The work of the Lighthouse Guild would not be possible without their support. Our organization was founded over a century ago by volunteers who envisioned a brighter future for people who are visually impaired.
