Join us for the Blind and Visually Impaired Center’s Fall Gala and Silent Auction on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at the Monterey Marriott, Ferrantes Bay View Room. Enjoy a reception with hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment, a three-course dinner with chicken, fish, or vegetarian options, and both silent and live auctions featuring unique items. We are honored to welcome Anna Velasquez, Mayor of Soledad, as our Master of Ceremonies, and Joe Xavier, former Director of the California Department of Rehabilitation, as our Keynote Speaker. This premier fundraising event supports programs, assistive technology, and one-on-one services that empower Monterey County residents who are visually impaired, helping them live independently and thrive in their communities. Whether you attend as a guest, sponsor, or donor, your participation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve while celebrating community, inclusion, and achievement. Tickets are $150 per person and must be purchased in advance. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
