8th annual New England Walk4Hearing at Artesani Park in Brighton, MA
The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) and local New England HLAA Chapters are proud to announce the 8th annual New England Walk4Hearing at Artesani Park in Brighton, MA on Sunday, October 12, 2014.
The New England Walk4Hearing is one of twenty-two 5K walks happening across the country this year. Since its inception in 2006, the Walk4Hearing has raised more than $6 million and has welcomed over 35,000 walkers who have stepped up for hearing loss and made it the nation’s largest and fastest growing hearing loss fundraising and public awareness walk in the country. Walk4Hearing raises funds that are used in local communities to support communication access with CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) to underwrite scholarships for people with hearing loss; to attend educational programs at our national convention; to support student scholarships for college; to enhance outreach efforts to underserved communities; and to remove the stigma of hearing loss through education, information, support and advocacy.
