Blink and Miss the Eye Ball
SEEING IS JUST THE BEGINNING AT CHARITY’S EYE BALL IN NOVEMBER
Soulful Jazz and R&B Hits Performed by Late Night Brass, an Epicurean Menu, and Special Guests Make for Memorable Evening to Benefit Corneal Transplants & Research
The Lions Eye Institute Foundation (LEIF) is hosting its second annual Eye Ball Saturday, November 15, starting at 6 pm.
The premier fundraising event for LEIF, this James Bond-style black tie affair will feature live entertainment by Late Night Brass, a gourmet meal and the presentation of the “Light of Sight” Award. Special guest Olympic Silver Medalist Zach Railey will be in attendance. Railey represented the U.S. in Beijing in Finn class sailing competition, and won second place in his first trip to the Olympic Games.
The Eye Ball will be held in the historic elegance of the ballroom on the top floor of the Lions Eye Institute for Transplant and Research, 1410 North 21st Street in Ybor City .
Alicia Roberts of WFLA News Channel 8 will serve as master of ceremonies for the evening, which also includes both a live and silent auction. This year’s Eye Ball will have a special focus on one family’s decision to give the gift of sight and the gift of life, made possible through corneal donation and organ donation, after the tragic death of their 20-year-old son.
Tickets: $250 per patron ticket (includes invitation to Patron Pre-party at Hoffman Porges Gallery in Ybor City and $100 contribution to the Circles of Pride Campaign benefiting LEIF); or $150 per individual ticket.
