2020 See The Light Lunch Video
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 29th 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!
Lou Nostro
My name is Lou Nostro and I have assisted Miami Lighthouse for more than 25 years in a variety of ways, culminating in my service as Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2017-2018. I have helped the organization expand its services for blind babies, children, adults and seniors.
Miami Lighthouse is a beacon in our community to all of the blind and visually impaired students, clients and program participants that are in need. It is an honor to serve on the Board of Directors. I expresses gratitude to Miami Lighthouse’s employees, donors and supporters for their dedication, generosity and belief in the Miami Lighthouse mission.
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!
