We look forward to celebrating spring together! 

Our fourth annual Dining in the Dark transformed The Ralston at the San Antonio Zoo into a wild and immersive experience on Feb. 13, all in support of empowerment and independence for individuals with vision loss. 

Guests explored curated wine and bourbon tastings and a three-course dinner under sleep shade.

KENS 5 anchor Henry Ramos served as emcee, guiding guests through the experience and inviting them “to slow down, engage our senses, and connect in a more meaningful way.” President and CEO Cindy Watson and Board President Mary Goebel reflected on the evening’s purpose, reminding guests that “opportunity changes lives.”

A testimonial from Vibrant Works employee and 2025 National Industries for the Blind Employee of the Year Israel Bolivar — alongside Frankie Garza and his parents, Vanessa and Jesus, participants in the Vibrant Works Children and Youth Program — illustrated how early support, training and meaningful employment pathways shaped futures.

Thank you to our sponsors, partners, volunteers and guests whose generosity made this impactful night possible and raised critical funds to support programs that empower people who are blind or vision impaired to live, work and thrive.

If you or someone you know is age 60 or older and living with vision loss, Vibrant Works is offering free Falls Prevention Workshops designed to improve balance, strength and confidence while reducing the risk of falls.

These supportive, accessible workshops share practical strategies for home safety, safe mobility, staying active and maintaining independence — especially for individuals who have experienced a fall or limit activities due to fear of falling.

Vibrant Works offers two evidence-based programs:

Healthy Steps for Older Adults (HSOA) is a two-session workshop that helps participants reduce fall risks while exploring topics such as strength and balance, vision and hearing changes, medication management, nutrition, stress and social connection. Participants may receive a $20 gift card upon completion of both sessions, while supplies last.

Upcoming HSOA sessions:

• March 2 & 4 at 1 p.m. - Center for Independence, 2300 Roosevelt Ave.

Matter of Balance is an eight-session workshop that helps participants reduce fear of falling and build confidence through goal setting, home safety strategies and strength and balance exercises. Participants may receive a $50 gift card upon completion of all sessions, while supplies last.

To register, call 210-531-1547
