The Walk4Hearing™, produced by the Hearing Loss Association of America® (HLAA), is the largest walk of its kind in the country. The HLAA Walk4Hearing is held in cities nationwide with at least 5,000 people walking and raising money for programs and services for people with hearing loss and their families. Proceeds are shared between the national organization and local HLAA affiliates or Walk4Hearing Alliance Groups to benefit national and local programs. Since 2006, more than $2 million has been raised.
HLAA launched the Walk4Hearing™ to:
*increase awareness among the general public about hearing loss and the 36 million Americans who have hearing loss
*minimize the stigma associated with wearing hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other assistive technology by educating people about hearing loss
*raise funds to expand services and programs for people with hearing loss and their families at the national and local levels
empower the HLAA state organizations and chapters to work with community leaders to organize walks for fundraising and local outreach
