“Having experienced the work of ATOU firsthand through attending an elementary school event, I witnessed its immediate impact on our community’s children. However, this was my first ATOU Evening of Insight event, and I was impressed! Not only did I enjoy the food and the wonderful people at the event, but the challenges given to us were impactful and lasting. Anything we can do in our world that inspires kindness, caring, and understanding from adults and youth alike is worth its weight in gold. Thank you to ATOU for all the good you inspire!”

“WOW! The ATOU Evening of Insight 2023 Fundraiser was EXTRAORINAIRE! I was not sure what to expect from the gracious invite that I received to attend. From the moment I walked in, the enthusiastic vibes filled the air with so much excitement, which lasted the entire evening. The Ballroom was decorated with lavish colors of blue and silver.
The dinner, oh my goodness, what a challenging experience it was! I’ve used blindfolds before, but not while eating! These were truly “blackout blindfolds!” I couldn’t see anything! To try and navigate where my plate, fork, knife, water, and wine glass were, was overwhelming. I was very thankful that my meal did not end up on my lap or the floor. I think everyone in the room had a moment of enlightenment.
The silent auction, live auction and fabulous deserts were a big hit and full of laughter and fun! So much laughter! ATOU had a fabulous affair! I have great admiration for what they are doing in our schools and throughout the community. I look forward to attending ATOU’S Evening of Insight 2024! Thank you ATOU!”

“What an amazing night! A Touch of Understanding is a beautiful organization. I attended the Evening of Insight event and was truly impressed by the immersive experience and now have greater appreciation for people with low vision or blindness. Major kudos to the compassionate people that provide these services to our community. All hearts grew 3 sizes that evening. I can not wait to attend again next year.”

“I was honored to host a table at ATOU’s Evening of Insight. It provided a chance for guests to “walk in someone’s shoes” for a brief time. It was a great learning moment for me and my table guests as we grew in empathy and understanding as to the challenges that people who are sight impaired deal with every day. That is just one of the great accomplishments that ATOU provides. They provide disability awareness workshops to schools that are unprecedented in giving all students the chance to understand, accept and respect not only those with disabilities but all individuals. I hope that they ask me to participate again!”
