There is an emphasis on the ability and accomplishments of people impacted by lack of vision. Since its inception in the spring of 2006, the program has raised over $55 million to fund sight-saving research with over 200,000 participants in the form of volunteers, team members and, sponsors. Due to the COVID-19 virus, the FFB held the fall 2020 VisionWalk online, asking participants to take steps to support the virtual VisionWalk by using a treadmill, going on a socially distanced walk, or having a virtual meeting with teammates. Dining in the Dark The Foundation Fighting Blindness hosts approximately 10 annual Dining in the Dark fundraising events in various cities around the U.S. Meant to increase awareness about the challenges of the visually impaired, Dining in the Dark is an event where participants dine in the dark.
