Tickets and Sponsorships Available for 2026 Prevent Blindness Person of Vision Award Gala Honoring Jim McGrann

Prevent Blindness has announced that tickets and sponsorship opportunities remain available for the 2026 Prevent Blindness Person of Vision Award gala, which will honor Jim McGrann, CEO of Advancing Eyecare, for his decades of leadership and dedication to improving vision health and access to eyecare.

The gala will take place on March 11, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Orlando in conjunction with Vision Expo.

One of the highest honors bestowed by Prevent Blindness, the Person of Vision Award recognizes an individual whose inspired outlook champions healthy vision and its vital role in a healthy life. Recipients are selected by an all-volunteer committee of leaders from the vision industry and nonprofit sector. Mr. McGrann is being recognized for his exemplary leadership and long-standing commitment to advancing eye care and expanding access to vision services.

Individual tickets are available for $400, and tables of 10 may be purchased for $4,000.

During the gala, donations made to Prevent Blindness will once again be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $12,000, thanks to a matching gift from the Marco Family Foundation, David and Julie Marco.

Those unable to attend in person can still honor Mr. McGrann and support Prevent Blindness by purchasing a full-page, half-page, or quarter-page ad, or a name listing in the event program. Donations may also be made online at PreventBlindness.org/personofvision. Individual contributions can additionally be made by texting SIGHT to 1-833-711-1621 (message and data rates may apply).
