The American Hearing Loss Association (HLAA) is a tax-exempt charitable organization that is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions under Code 501 (c) from the IRS. Every year, HLAA organizes an event to raise funds and awareness about hearing loss called Walk4Hearing. On Saturday, June 9th, hundreds of supporters of the Hearing Loss Association gathered at Marina Green Park in Long Beach, California to celebrate the annual Walk4Hearing fundraising campaign. Walk4Hearing is a national campaign that brings hope to people with hearing loss in 20 cities and meets them in their communities to raise awareness and show their support. This event is highly anticipated by many of the attendees, as it had been three years since the last Walk4Hearing event.
Michelle Zappas discovered a knowledge gap among health professionals about the viral infection that caused her daughter's hearing loss. The event also invites veterans with hearing loss to attend the next meeting of the virtual chapter of Veterans Across America (VAAVC) online via Zoom. Looking ahead, Tecimer hopes to create a sustainable program to continue providing hearing aids to children in India and to advocate for young people with hearing problems in Los Angeles. Walk4Hearing from the American Hearing Loss Association is an important event that helps bring attention to the issue of hearing loss and provides support for those affected by it. It increases public awareness of hearing loss, eradicates the stigma associated with it, and raises funds for national and local programs. The annual Walk4Hearing event is an opportunity for people with hearing loss and their families to come together and show their support. It is also a chance for those who are not affected by hearing loss to learn more about it and how they can help.
By attending this event, you can help raise awareness about hearing loss and make a difference in your community. The American Hearing Loss Association is dedicated to providing support and resources for those affected by hearing loss. Through events like Walk4Hearing, they are able to raise funds and awareness for this important cause.
