May 3, 2023 | La Jolla, CA
About the Event
Thank you to all who attended our Spring Tea on May 3, 2023!
Hosted at the beautiful La Jolla Country Club, the “Sip to See, Springtime Tea” was an uplifting and delightful afternoon with friends in support of a worthy cause.
Guests enjoyed boutique shopping with many wonderful local vendors, a thoughtfully curated silent auction and opportunity drawing, the live pianist, and nationally recognized vision researcher, Dr. Anne M. Hanneken from Scripps Research.
The full tea service included herbal and caffeinated tea, a variety of tea sandwiches, a sweet selection of pastries, cakes, fresh fruit, and handmade savory treats, along with welcome champagne and wine.
This special afternoon provided the San Diego community a philanthropic opportunity to support cutting-edge research needed to cure hereditary childhood blindness.
The Vision of Children Foundation thanks each and every one of our attendees and donors for their support.
About The Vision of Children Foundation
Rancho Santa Fe residents Sam and Vivian Hardage established Vision of Children in 1991 after their son, Chase, was born with Ocular Albinism. At the time, no researchers were studying this rare genetic vision disorder, for which no treatments or cures exist. The Hardages were determined to encourage scientific research to find a cure for this congenital condition.
Today, as it celebrates over 30 years of research, Vision of Children is the foremost organization in the world supporting research for Ocular Albinism and related vision disorders with projects currently underway at The Shiley Eye Institute at UC San Diego Health.
