Illinois Eye-Bank 16th Annual Gift of Sight Gala

The Illinois Eye-Bank will be hosting its 16th annual Gift of Sight Gala to raise funds for its important work and to recognize those who have played critical roles in the preservation and restoration of sight. The 2014 event, themed “A New Chapter,” will be held June 19, 6-10 p.m., at The Peninsula Chicago, 108 E. Superior St., where Dr. Charles Bouchard and Sherrill Bodine will be honored for their commitments to Illinois Eye-Bank's efforts and mission. Dr. Bouchard, chairman of ophthalmology at Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine, is a leader in the corneal transplant field. Bodine, a best-selling author and active philanthropist, has been a long-term supporter of the Illinois Eye-Bank.
 
Please join event chairs David Donnersberger, M.D., and Eileen Howard-Weinberg for this highly anticipated event and enjoy an evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing and inspiration. With your help, the Illinois Eye-Bank can continue to preserve and restore sight for thousands of individuals each year.
