Cocktails in the Dark

Welcome to VIA: Visually Impaired Advancement's first annual cocktails in the dark!

VIA: Visually Impaired Advancement invites you to our Cocktails in the Dark on September 12, 2023, at 500 Seneca St – Atrium from 5:30-8 PM.

There will be drinks and hors-d’oeuvres, interactive assistive technology activities under a blindfold, and a keynote speech from Terence James.

We’ll also have blindfolded beer, cocktails, and mocktail tastings to put your taste buds to the test!

The funds received will be used entirely to support VIA’s rehabilitation programs and services.
