9TH ANNUAL NIGHT OF SPECTACLES

BENEFITING THE GEORGIA LION’S LIGHTHOUSE

SATURDAY, APRIL 2ND

6PM

FOUNDRY AT PURITAN MILL

 

Atlanta, GA – The Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation is excited to host its 9th annual Night of Spectacles event on Saturday April 2, 2016 at the historic Foundry at Puritan Mill. Night of Spectacles began as a way for the Lighthouse to meet growing funding needs while engaging the wider community in our mission to provide vision and hearing services to thousands of uninsured and underinsured Georgians.

 

The Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation provides access to affordable vision and hearing care to all 159 counties in Georgia, delivering services to residents of all ages. We work with over 350 partners annually to create a comprehensive and statewide network of care. In 2015, we served 7,444 Georgia residents by providing eyeglasses, eye exams, consultations, hearing aids and surgical procedures. Restoring the world of sight and sound is life-changing for many of our patients.

 

Night of Spectacles’ signature “Fashion with a Mission” runway competition brings local aspiring fashion designers to the stage with creations made using broken eyewear parts from our Recycling Program. The evening also features a silent and live auction, live entertainment and a seated dinner. We anticipate 300 guests in attendance, including doctors and healthcare professionals, corporate leaders, fashion designers and media representatives.
