On Saturday, March 24, 2012, the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington (POB) held its 25^thannual Night of Vision® gala at the Four Seasons in Georgetown.

The gala’s theme was  "Eye on Low Vision," and the organization honored low vision specialist Dr. Suleiman Alibhai with the Professional Service Award. This award was established in 1987 to be given annually to the person who best exemplifies the spirit of POB's mission and its commitment to the community.

POB also honored the Virginia Lions District 24-A with POB’s Community Service Award for their support of POB’s Low Vision Learning Center for which Dr. Alibhai is the director.

The evening included dinner, live and silent auctions and dancing to the sounds of Bob Jenets UpFront. All of the event’s proceeds will benefit POB’s sight-saving programs.

POB would like to thank the sponsors, volunteers and guests and other supporters who made this elegant evening a success.

Details for the 2013 are still being determined. For more information, please contact POB at (202) 234-1010.
