Gala Wrap Up

From the excitement of the Golden Ticket Raffle to the energy of the live auction and the heartfelt generosity shown during Fund-a-Vision, the 2025 VIPS Gala was truly one for the books, and it was all possible because of you.

Thanks to a few additional gifts that came in after the event, our new total is an incredible $242,423.00 raised in support of young children who are blind or have low vision. Every silent auction bid, every donation, every moment of engagement helped us reach this milestone, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

This year’s Gala was especially meaningful as we celebrated 40 years of VIPS. Watching our community come together at Progress Park to honor this legacy and invest in the future was powerful and humbling. You didn’t just attend an event—you made a lasting impact on the lives of children and families across Kentucky and Indiana. We hope you’ll join us again next year for another unforgettable evening. Until then, thank you for standing with VIPS.
