36th Annual Chasco Coronation Ball with 2023 King Pithla Steve Luikart and Queen Chasco Julie Rogers by J. David Wright by J. David Wright

Lighthouse for the Visually Impaired and Blind is pleased to announce the 2023 King Pithla Steve Luikart and Queen Chasco Julie Rogers who were crowned on March 24th at the 2023 Chasco Coronation Ball. The Ball celebrates the outstanding contributions made by many in our community with nominations from not-for-profit organizations, and it recognizes two of the nominees with a Coronation of King Pithla and Queen Chasco. This year, 39 Superheroes from our community were honored and 27 Not-for-Profit agencies were highlighted—all for their incredible contributions of time and talent that lift up those in need.

The Honorable Gus Bilirakis, the US Congressional District 12 representative, was also presented with an award. Congressman Bilirakis has been an incredible advocate for those with visual impairment and blindness. The Lighthouse is exceptionally grateful to him and his team for all the work they have done to get the resources we need to help improve the mental health of our clients.

We also had a record 29 Sponsors, a fantastic Silent Auction and a first-ever Live Auction. Thank you to all our sponsors, donors, guests, and other supporters, for making the Ball an exciting and memorable event. Please read on to learn about our new King and Queen and to see the nominees, sponsors, donors, and committee members. Visit 2023 Ball Photos to see lots of photos, courtesy of Photos by J. David.
