Events

For more than 35 years, the Women's Committee has organized:

  • The Lighthouse POSH Sale. This fashion fundraiser is the "hottest" sale in town for designer fashions and accessories at bargain prices;

  • Lighthouse Scholarships and Career Awards, which recognize students and employees with impaired vision for their outstanding achievements in academia and the competitive marketplace.
