Lights Out October 24, 2012

WHAT: “Lights Out” is a visually impaired dining experience that will take place over three nights in October at locations in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and South Beach. The event will provide a distinctive opportunity for diners to enjoy a gourmet meal at one of three restaurants, while wearing a mask to experience the challenges visually impaired individuals face while dining out.

WHO: This is the first event to showcase Stand Among Friends umbrella organization, Ability Explosion. Stand Among Friends (SAF) and Ability Explosion (AE) have joined forces and announced that all future events will be developed as Ability Explosion events under the Stand Among Friends organizational umbrella. Founded by David New, Ability Explosion is a non-profit organization that develops unique events focused on raising awareness about issues facing the disabled community.

INTERVIEWS: SAF founder Shawn Friedkin, Ability Explosion founder David New, and others will be available for interview.
