The Vision of Children Foundation hosted its highly anticipated annual “Sip to See, Springtime Tea” at a private club in La Jolla. Event Chairs Kristi Pieper, Zarah Meyer, and Vivian Hardage, along with the Foundation’s dedicated Advisory Board, welcomed more than 180 guests, including Gregory Ostrow, Genta Luddy, MJ Wittman, Bree Bornstein, Linda Howard, Tiffany Dowling, Susan Hoehn, Lynda Kerr, Shannon Sperlinga, Larissa Shoup, and Melia Fuller, to an elegant midday gathering. This sold-out event’s proceeds will support groundbreaking research to cure genetic vision disorders and assist affected children and families.
