June 3: Dining in the Dark at the Sheraton

POSTED: Thursday, May 27, 2010, 6:29 PM

Filed Under: Food Events

Next Thursday, June 3, the Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB) will hold its Dining in the Dark events at the Sheraton at 17th and Race. Billed as a "distinctive sensory awareness experience," the charity dinner immerses ticketholders in complete darkness while they enjoy a meal (rely on all your other senses to take in the food; menu TK). Preceding the dinner will be a brief awards presentation honoring Drs. Stuart L. Fine and Alan M. Laties, research professors of ophthamology at UPenn. Proceeds (tix are pricey, FYI) will benefit FFB, which supports global research initiatives in the area of retinal degenerative disease.
