Why I Attend the Orbital Gala

“The Orbital Gala is a way to give back to the Foundation that does so much for supporting education, thus ensuring that the public can obtain the best possible eye care. It’s an honor to be a small part of this huge endeavor. It’s also a lot of fun reconnecting with friends and meeting many of the Academy leaders.”
