Description
Dining in the Dark allows individuals to eat an entire meal in complete darkness, with the aid of low lighting and a blindfold. The national eye-opening fundraiser will debut for the first time in the Midwest right here in Milwaukee to benefit the Badger Association and the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children. A special menu was created by James Beard Award Winning chef Adam Siegel to delight the senses of smell, taste and touch.

A departure from traditional fundraisers, this unconventional dinner is helping raise funds for a critical cause in spite of the recession. The goal, in addition to raising funds, is for guests to find a deeper understanding of what it is like to be blind. Why is that important? By 2030, the number of Americans affected by age-related blindness is expected to double.

Cost
Tickets are $250 (includes four course meal, wine / beer, valet parking).
