The Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired SC (ABVI) is thrilled to unveil Nera, the newest addition to our blind dining event series. This is the sister experience to our signature event, Noir, and supports the critical vision rehabilitation services we provide. What sets Nera and Noir apart from other galas is that we ask our guests to wear eye masks and enjoy the main course of their meal without relying on their vision. This unique element gives everyone a glimpse into the struggles that our clients must overcome on a daily basis. It is rare that you truly get to experience an organization’s mission at an event, however, our guests at Nera do just that.

Every guest will get to enjoy a premium cocktail hour, blindfolded dinner with wine service, auction, and an opportunity to participate in a Fund-a-Need.

ABVI has been helping adults and children who are blind or have low vision live independent, safe, and rewarding lives for nearly 90 years. The proceeds raised at Nera help support the critical vision rehabilitation services we provide.
