Foundation Board + Lighthouse Summer Garden Party
The Lighthouse Foundation Board of Directors continued its work to increase awareness and cultivate philanthropic support from the community in fiscal year 2025. The board, comprised of 17 members from across the country, supported efforts like our Year End Campaign, the Summer Garden Party, our DeafBlind Retreat, and more!

Lighthouse Summer Garden Party
This year, our Garden Party featured Orientation & Mobility Services, capping our Spring Campaign and raising more than $125,000 for this vital program. Bank of America volunteered and sponsored the event for the third time, as well as did over 40 volunteers and hundreds of community members in attendance.
