Dinner in the Dark presented by AAA - The Auto Club Group, hosted at the Royal Park Hotel in Downtown Rochester, is Leader Dogs for the Blind's signature fundraising event and offers an unforgettable experience! Guests will enjoy a remarkable dinner under blindfold, raising funds to transform the lives of individuals who are blind.

As you mingle with fellow attendees, snap a photo with a canine ambassador on our “black carpet” entrance, and test your luck at the Blind Wine Pull for $25. Be sure to explore our pop-up Leader Dog gift shop and participate in the Walk the Walk experience, an immersive orientation and mobility space where you can navigate with a white cane and engage in everyday activity skills. For VIP ticket holders, Blindfold Walks with a Leader Dog in training or a canine ambassador will be an exclusive treat. No tickets will be emailed for this event.
