Eversight and event Co-Chairs Candace Jordan and Michael Caputo hosted more than 160 guests at The Peninsula Chicago on September 8, 2021 for the annual Gift of Sight Masquerade. The event raised nearly $140,000 to provide sight-restoring cornea transplants to people in need, fulfilling donor family wishes.
Proceeds from the Gift of Sight Masquerade will help ensure no one suffering from corneal blindness will be left in the dark. Funds raised from the event will support Eversight’s Gift of Sight program, which fully or partially offsets the cost of a cornea transplant for under- or uninsured patients.
Visit eversightvision.org/circle to make a contribution before year's end to bring light to those living in darkness. Your gift brings sight and hope to thousands each year through cornea transplant surgeries and critical research into blinding eye diseases.
Thank you to all our supporters—you are changing lives!
