What is Party for Sight?

Join us for Hope in Focus' summer-long fundraiser!

This community-driven event brings people together to raise funds and awareness for Hope in Focus and our mission to advance the development of treatments for rare inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), including Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA).

Hosting is simple: create a gathering that fits your style. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue, beach day, dinner party, game night, or something entirely your own and turn it into a fundraiser for a meaningful impact.

Every event helps support Hope in Focus’s mission to provide education, advocacy, and support for the IRD community while advancing progress toward future treatments.

Celebrate summer, connect with friends and family, and help bring hope to individuals and families living with IRDs.
