Diners enjoy gourmet meals while being blindfolded, and it’s all for a good cause

Seeing was not believing for Boca Raton based non-profit Stand Among Friends this past week during its fundraiser event “Lights Out.”

The event held during disability awareness month, highlights the many challenges that a blind person faces while at dinner.

Participants were blindfolded from going to their seats, to dining and drinking; providing them with a real life experience of what it feels like to dine blind.

The tri-county event was hosted in three different locations across south Florida including Dapur Asian Tapas & Lounge in Fort Lauderdale, Rosso Italia in Boca Raton and Red, The Steakhouse in South Beach.

The non-profit partners with Florida Atlantic University to build awareness in the community providing employment and resources for individuals with disabilities.

About TransMedia Group

Our mission is to make our clients newsworthy in ways that advance their business goals. First we develop a plan. It identifies what we seek to accomplish and how we propose to go about it by creating effective media strategies and tailoring messages to attain clearly-defined objectives. To do this, we'll look objectively at our clients' business. Then from our vantage of many years of media experience, we'll find out what's different, special and interesting about our client. Always, we'll spot something, some hook that will make not only a good story, but a compelling story, an irresistible story, a believable story to the media. Then we'll create the most effective ways to underscore its timeliness and drive home the salient points we need to make. Our news releases and other presentations on behalf of clients are always truthful and accurate, but never dull or lacking in originality. We tell our client's story inventively -- in the best possible way to attract media attention. We target media that reach markets of importance to our client's business. And we hit our prime target over and over again.
