Your Impact

Since the very first Eye Appeal Art Gala in 1997, our guests, sponsors, and art donors have helped raise an incredible $2.3 million, supporting more than 43,000 individuals living with sight loss across Vancouver Island. Together, we’ve built a legacy of community, creativity, and compassion.

Each year, supporters gather at Eye Appeal to celebrate what we’ve achieved together and to look ahead, inspired by the stories we share and the work that remains. This is a night of glamour, fun, and purpose, where art lovers and philanthropists come together for a truly unforgettable experience, culminating in our much-anticipated Art Draw.

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for making this extraordinary evening possible.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
