Thank you to all of the patrons and guests who joined us for the 35th Annual Holiday House. Your presence and generosity made the evening truly special, and your support helps ensure that children who are blind or have a visual impairment, and their families, continue to receive the care and services they need. We are so grateful to celebrate this beloved tradition with such a caring community.
