What starts as a simple step can grow into a lifelong mission.

Thank you to Grit and Gravitas podcast for highlighting our CEO, Cheryl Cuddy, and allowing her to share our mission with an even larger audience. What began as a part-time role screening children’s vision became a 20+ year journey of purpose, care, and impact.

Today, Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania helps more than 5,000 individuals each year maintain independence and quality of life and has been around for 105 years.

“If I ever lose sight of what I’m doing, I go sit in the low vision center and watch someone regain their independence.”

That’s why we do what we do.

✨ What should I wear?

We’ve been getting this question a lot, and we love it.

We want you to be comfortable, so the vision for the evening is Casual European Traveler Chic.

Think effortless, stylish, and comfortable. Light layers, flowy dresses, linen, chic sneakers or sandals, a great pair of sunglasses… like you’re strolling through Italy for the evening.

Most importantly, wear something you feel good in and can move in, because this is a strolling, cocktail-style event designed for mingling, exploring, and enjoying the experience.

Take a look at the inspiration collage and have fun with it!
