This one-of-a-kind unique gala dinner was designed to raise awareness about vision loss. Experience a wonderfully prepared three course meal served in complete darkness by Savannah’s very own SWAT team using special night vision technology.

“As the 2026 Chair, I am honored to be associated with the Center and its incredible Dining in the Dark committee, who are truly making a difference in people’s lives. Witnessing the Savannah business community coming together for the success of this event over the past ten years has been inspiring. Dining in the Dark is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, spending even a short moment eating without sight reminds us how much we often take for granted. Participating in this event is a gift, because for many of us, the lights eventually come back on,” said Michelle Stenson Hart, Registered Agent, New York Life Insurance Company.

The event offers guests a peek into an unfamiliar world of total blindness and helps them to discover a new, deeper understanding of vision loss. Dining in the Dark would not be possible without the support of the Savannah SWAT Team. This volunteer team helps escort the guest and serves dinner in complete darkness, offering a one-of-a-kind experience.
