Join us for Illumination, a vibrant Halloween party where artistry and philanthropy unite. Set amidst a radiant spectacle of interactive installations and glowing processions, this event is more than just a celebration. It's a chance to support rare disease research, specifically RVCL, in a playground of light. Engage with illuminated characters, participate in fiery parades, and immerse yourself in the delightful luminosity. Your participation helps us shine a light on the path to discovery. Let's illuminate the night and the future of RVCL research, together.
The event raises awareness and funds for RVCL research. Since its inception in 2016, Illumination has brought in $9.8 million, including nearly $1.2 million in 2023 alone.
An Immersive Light Art Experience
Leading the cure for Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukodystrophy (RVCL)
The Clayco Foundation is determined to find a cure for Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukodystrophy (RVCL). RVCL is a rare and fatal genetic condition affecting the central nervous system, causing the deterioration of small blood vessels in the brain and eyes of those affected. Most patients begin experiencing vision loss and strokes in their early 40s and have an average lifespan of eight years following their first symptoms. Rare disease affects nearly all of us. Thirty million people in the United States live with some form of the rare disease; that’s close to 1 in 10 people. We believe that we can make a difference by building on last year’s success. We look forward to your partnership and exceeding our goals in 2023.
Come help us cast a light on rare disease!
In addition to raising funds for an invaluable cause, Illumination is devoted to discovering, attracting, mentoring, and directing over 100 diverse professional creators, emerging artists, and performing partners who are all committed to amplifying the Art of Light — illuminated sculpture, installation, experience, costume, objects, and effects. Illumination’s collaboration with the artist community makes for a particularly special event symbolic of hope and transformation.
