On Saturday, September 29th, 2012, the “who's who” of Nashville put on their tuxes and ball gowns, and waltzed the night away at the 8th annual "EyeBall", which took place at downtown’s Renaissance Hotel. This evening of splendor was hosted by the 501c(3) non-profit charity, the Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration (www.WangFoundation.com) and its founder, Dr. Ming Wang. To date, the foundation has helped patients from over 40 states in the U.S. and 55 countries, with all sight restoration surgeries performed free-of-charge. This year's EyeBall, attended by nearly 500 guests, was an affair to remember. Featuring the first ever "Dancing with the Stars at the EyeBall", local celebrities participated in a ballroom dancing competition, judged by three talented judges, Congresswoman Diane Black, Danceworld owner and professional teacher Danny Baye, and “dancing doctor”, Dr. Ming Wang. Following this entertaining event were breathtaking ballroom dance shows in waltz and Latin American cha cha, performed by professional dancers. To add to the grandeur of the evening, guests enjoyed a silent auction of luxurious items hosted by The Diamond Corporation, a delicious gourmet dinner, a captivating magic show by magician Kevin King, and songs by featured vocalist Mirka Snellenburg, who was accompanied by a dynamic African folk dance group from the Global Educational Center and a spectacular live band. As you can imagine, this black tie soiree was anything BUT black and white! Later, Danny and Sharlene Baye got everyone on the dance floor where they were given a ballroom dance lesson in swing and waltz.
