Close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you. The birds outside, the phone ringing, conversations around you….Now imagine that you can’t hear any of those sounds. The Dallas Hearing Foundation is working to give the gift of hearing to those with hearing loss in the DFW area.
The Dallas Hearing Foundation would like to extend an invitation to participate in our charitable fundraising event, “The Dallas Hearing Foundation, Breaking the Sound Barrier for 20 Years” on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at The Empire Room in Dallas. DHF is honored to have Dale Hansen, WFAA sportscaster as our honorary chair. Past honorary chair, Lee Roy Mitchell, Founder of Cinemark, continues to be involved with the Foundation and Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines is a distinguished board member of the Dallas Hearing Foundation.
We are in need of silent and live auction items and would love if you are able to donate a gift certificate or item for our auction. We will be sending emails to our 6,000 contacts in the months leading up to the event as well as promoting our sponsors and donors on our Facebook page and through our mail out, “Hear & Now News”. We also have a following on Twitter and Instagram that we will be promoting our in-kind donors and sponsors. We would be honored if you were able to donate for the auction. You can view more information about the Dallas Hearing Foundation www.dallashearingfoundation.org.
The Dallas Hearing Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that supports all aspects of hearing services: medical, rehabilitative, education, counseling, and research. Priority is given to children who do not have insurance or other financial resources. Through the Dallas Hearing Foundation, these precious children receive cochlear implants or hearing aids, auditory-verbal therapy, educational services, and counseling. Our specialized team consists of an otologic surgeon, audiologists, a speech-language pathologist, an educational consultant, and a psychologist. With the services we provide, children and adults with hearing loss can pursue their own interests and dreams, rather than being restricted in a world of silence with severe limitations on their educational and employment opportunities.
Here is a link to what a difference the Dallas Hearing Foundation can make in a child’s life. Rachel Casey’s life has been changed FOREVER by her cochlear implants:

Many lives have been profoundly changed by the services provided by the Dallas Hearing Foundation. Our goal is to be able to give the miracle of hearing and speech to every deaf child and adult who needs our assistance. Please help us to assist these deserving individuals through our main fundraising effort, the Sounds of the Season gala. Enclosed you will find additional information on our organization and the ways in which you can donate and forever change the life of a deaf person.
On behalf of the deaf children and adults who are waiting for a miracle, thank you for your time and consideration.
