Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches will host its 4th Annual EnVision 20/20 Luncheon on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Sailfish Club in Palm Beach. This signature event brings together community leaders, supporters, and advocates to celebrate and empower individuals with visual impairments through essential programs and services.
Guests will enjoy an elegant dining experience, an inspiring keynote address, and captivating live entertainment—all in support of Lighthouse’s mission to foster independence and opportunity for people with visual impairments.
“The Lighthouse is dedicated to ensuring that every individual in the five counties we serve receives the personalized support and resources they need to live with dignity, independence, and the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, regardless of the challenges posed by visual impairments,” said Lisa Stella, Executive Director of Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches. “The EnVision 20/20 Luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to connect with our community while celebrating resilience, achievement, and the incredible impact of our programs.”
This year’s keynote speaker is Sherlock Washington, a dynamic entrepreneur, mentor, trainer, and Paralympic athlete. Through his firsthand experiences within the visually impaired community, Sherlock will deliver an uplifting message of resilience, determination, and success.
Adding to the day’s inspiring atmosphere, renowned Spanish-style acoustic guitarist Islay Rodriguez will perform a range of musical styles spanning Flamenco, Smooth Jazz, and Brazilian classics. Visually impaired since childhood, Islay has delighted audiences across Florida since the age of 16, showcasing the transformative power of music.
All proceeds from the luncheon support Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches’ critical programs, which provide training, career development, and everyday life skills to help individuals with vision loss live independently, pursue meaningful careers, and fully engage in their communities.
