SUMMARY:The Art of Hearing Gala 2027
DESCRIPTION:\n4th Annual Art of Hearing Gala\nSaturday, April 17, 2027 · St. Petersburg, FL\n\n\nSave the Date!\n\n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to announce that the 4th Annual Art of Hearing Gala will take place on Saturday, April 17, 2027 at Nova 535 in St. Petersburg!\n\n\n\n\nAfter the incredible success of our 3rd Annual Gala in 2026, we can’t wait to gather our community once again for an unforgettable evening of music, connection, and impact. More details, including sponsorship opportunities and ticket information, will be available soon.\n\n\n\n\nStay tuned!\n\n\n2026 Art of Hearing Gala Recap\nOur 3rd Annual Art of Hearing Gala was an unforgettable evening filled with music, community, and powerful moments of impact.\nWe are proud to share that together, we raised over $160,000 — a record-breaking milestone for Sounding Joy. Because of this extraordinary generosity, we’re able to serve twice as many children in 2026 as we did in 2025. That means more kiddos receiving the life-changing hearing care they need to thrive in school, at home, and in life.\nThe room was filled with new and familiar faces united around one shared mission: ensuring every child has access to the hearing support they deserve.\nWe are deeply grateful to our sponsors, partners, volunteers, and every guest who made the night possible.\nRelive the highlights from this unforgettable night:\n\n \nWhy It Matters\nHearing access changes everything.\nWhen a child cannot hear clearly, it affects far more than sound. It impacts confidence, classroom learning, friendships, and emotional wellbeing, shaping how they experience the world around them. Too often, families fall into a financial gap where they do not qualify for assistance yet still cannot afford the high cost of hearing aids.\nThe Art of Hearing Gala is more than a beautiful evening. It is a catalyst for real change, helping provide professionally fitted hearing aids and support services to children who deserve the chance to fully participate in school, at home, and in life.\nBecause when a child can hear, they are able to connect more deeply, learn more confidently, and step into their full potential.\nPast Gala Highlights\n2026: Over $160,000 Raised\nOur 3rd Annual Gala at Coastal Creative raised a record-breaking $160,000, allowing us to double the number of children we serve.\nClick here for a recap of the event. ( https://soundingjoy.org/sounding-joys-3rd-annual-art-of-hearing-gala-raises-over-150000/ )\n2025: Over $100,000 Raised\nTogether, we raised over $100,000 in 2025 to help provide hearing aids for children in need.\nClick here for a recap of the event.\n\nWant to Get Involved?\nJoin our Auction Committee:\nLooking for a simple, flexible way to make a difference?
