With Gratitude: Honoring Our Gala Partners & Supporters

“Saving the Sight of the World— Night in Morocco” Auction & Gala December 6, 2025

The Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation extends its sincere appreciation to the individuals, organizations, and partners whose support made our recent gala—and the forthcoming Morocco Mission—possible.

Through the extraordinary generosity of our community, the gala generated $107,000 in direct donations and secured more than $300,000 in-kind donations. These vital resources are now being deployed to support sight-restoring surgeries, hands-on clinician training, and the development of sustainable eye care capacity in Chefchaouen Province, Morocco.

This mission is not the work of a single organization. It is the result of collaboration, trust, and a shared belief that treatable blindness should not exist anywhere in the world.

In-Kind Medical Partners

We gratefully acknowledge our in-kind medical partners— Alcon and Bausch + Lomb —whose generous contributions are essential to the delivery of high-quality ophthalmic care.
