End of Year Celebration
& Beacon Awards
Friday, June 27, 2025
Lynn Family Stadium
Join us for the End of Year Celebration and Beacon Awards!
Come together as we reflect on the impact we’ve made throughout the 2024–2025 fiscal year (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025) and honor the individuals who make our mission possible.
We’ll celebrate the milestones and moments that defined our year, while recognizing outstanding volunteers, donors, and community partners with the 2025 Beacon Award—VIPS’ highest honor. Together, we’ve empowered hundreds of children who are blind or have low vision to learn, grow, and shine.
Come be part of this FREE celebration!
Enjoy light refreshments and a fajita bar, heartfelt stories, and the opportunity to connect with others who believe in the life-changing power of early intervention. We’ll close the evening with a special moment as the Big Four Bridge lights up in VIPS colors—a beautiful tribute to the children and families we serve.
