🙏 An Important Message from Independence for the Blind of West Florida

Due to the impacts of Hurricane Isaias and out of deep concern for the safety of everyone in our community, we have made the difficult decision to postpone The 2026 Eye Ball Gala — originally scheduled for October 24, 2026 — to the Spring of 2027.

This was not an easy decision. We were so looking forward to celebrating with all of you, and we are truly disappointed that circumstances beyond our control have made this necessary.

We are grateful for your continued support and understanding during this challenging time. Please stay safe, and we will share updated event details as soon as they are available.

For questions, please contact Raven Holloway:

💛 Thank you for standing with us — we can’t wait to celebrate together in the Spring.
