The Denver International Wine Festival is pleased to announce that in 2010,
we will again partner with The Foundation For Sight and Sound, a 501(c)3 non
profit organization and their Help America Hear Program, that provides
hearing aides to disadvantaged people with a hearing disability.
The 2010 Denver International Wine Festival will donate a portion of ticket
sales and 100% of the proceeds of all silent and live auctions to the
Foundation for Sight and Sound.
The Help America Hear Program was created in January 2009 and has since
fitted 120 men, women & children nationwide with hearing aids. With the
minimum cost of a hearing aid averaging $2,000, many individuals are unable
to afford this necessary tool for improving their quality of life.
HEARING AID MISSION
On Wednesday November 3, 2010 the Foundation For Sight & Sound’s Help
America Hear Program will be fitting 10 Denver area residents with hearing
aids. This Hearing Medical Mission will take place at the Lakewood Hearing &
Speech Center, 3110 S Wadsworth Blvd, Suite # 107, Lakewood, CO 80227
at 10:00 am.
Randall D. Smith, co-founder and president, a hearing instruments
specialist, is assisting with Mitchell Shapiro & Dave Carr, the co-founders
of the Help America Hear Program in fitting the recipients.
