About This Event

What is it?

The “Annual Dr. Thomas Hartig Dining in the Dark” is a unique event to increase awareness about blindness and raise funds for the local not-for-profit agency, Florida Outreach Center for the Blind (FOCB). This event honors Dr. Thomas Hartig who brought newspapers via the telephone to blind and visually-impaired persons across the country. He was an inspiration to us all. 

What happens at the event?

You experience food, drink and conversation as you may never have before while Dining In The Dark. Your remaining senses are enhanced to savor the smell, texture and taste of your meal. Your conversation becomes more intimate and interesting with those seated at your table. Your imagination is stimulated and you better understand what blind individuals encounter throughout their daily lives.
