CNIB: Vision of Hope Dinner and Dance

The 7th annual Vision of Hope Dinner and Dance, a Share Your Vision fundraising event for The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), was held on Feb. 26th, 2011. Supported by more than 300 guests, the $14,000 raised this year brings the seven-year fundraising total to over $85,000. These funds support programs and services for blind and partially sighted Canadians to ensure they have the confidence, skills and opportunities to fully participate in life. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who has attended the event since its inception in 2005, presented Yolanda Palumbo, CNIB client and Vision of Hope chair, with a plaque commending her commitment and achievements. www.cnib.ca
