Last year, despite challenges from the pandemic we still served over 700 children. We need your help to continue our critical work to make a difference in the lives of children with vision loss!

We need our VIPS supporters help more than ever during this uniquely challenging time with the gift of a new donation or pledge, or continuing your existing your support. If you are not a monthly donor--now would be a great time to initiate a monthly gift. The families we serve depend on our teachers and we depend on you to help us in our critical mission to provide early intervention to every child with blindness or low vision.

The VIPS Gala & Auction

Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS) is pleased to announce the upcoming Annual VIPS Gala on May 20, 2023 at The Louisville Boat Club. This event is expected to draw nearly 200 people for a dinner and auction fundraiser that benefits the education of children who are blind and visually impaired in Kentucky and Indiana.

We are accepting in-kind Bourbon bottle donations, for our annual Bourbon Pull Event.

We are accepting Silent Auction item donations. Own a business? Donate your product or services!

We are accepting Live Auction donations. Own a vacation cabin? Donate a weekend get-away!

Please contact Ashley Ford at aford@vips.org to make any in-kind donation.

The 2023 VIPS Gala will be in person this year! Stay tuned for more details!

Enjoy a night of philanthropy and fun!
