Virtual SEE THE LIGHT Lunch
October 29^th 2020

Sponsored by

Miami Lighthouse’s annual signature event, our “SEE THE LIGHT” Luncheon, is one of our most important fundraising opportunities during the year. In past years, we’ve welcomed over 250 guests from our philanthropic family to a luncheon with music, entertainment and heartfelt remarks from program participants.

In keeping with the times of social distancing we are going virtual, so instead of 250 guests in a ballroom, we can now have unlimited attendees. Visit this web page on October 29^th we will have a 30 minute program at 12:00pm featuring an exclusive performance by Latin superstar Willy Chirino and Chirino Sisters. We will also feature students in our Lighthouse Learning Center for Children™, Miami Lighthouse client Marin Baumer and a few more surprises!

 

 

My name is Bill Beckham and I’m a past member of the Board of Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. I have been involved with this outstanding organization for over 15 years, served on the Board for 8 years and am now an Honorary Board Director.

It’s an honor to help further the Mission to actively and effectively serve this important community of ALL ages. Miami Lighthouse has outstanding leadership with both national and local recognition based on “best in class” service delivery and financial management within a caring, fair and inclusive culture of equal opportunity and respect for all.

The application of technologies to facilitate learning and to create productive members of the workforce are unparalleled as are the transformational programs for learning, art and music aimed at enhancing constituents’ quality of life. From our Blind Babies to the Transition Program for teens all through our Seniors, there is an incredible dedication of the staff to care for these clients and to teach necessary life skills for all to adapt, integrate and function well in “normal” day to day life.

We are fortunate to have a strong donor base with long term commitments but now more than ever with the current pandemic – we need your help to maintain and to grow in order to meet the needs of those who rely on this beacon to guide them forward.

Today, we are asking for your support of our Light the Way campaign, a one-for-one matching challenge to raise $9 million to expand our Miami Lighthouse Learning Center for Children™. An anonymous donor has created a Capstone Matching Challenge to help us reach our goal.  Your gift will now in essence be tripled!
