Mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable evening of elegance, inspiration, and impact! You are invited to The Art of Hearing Gala 2025—an extraordinary celebration of art, music, and community dedicated to providing hearing aids to children in need.

After last year’s phenomenal success, where we raised $65,000, which enabled us to buy up to 65 hearing aids for children, we’re thrilled to make 2025 even more impactful. This year’s gala promises a stunning lineup of inspiring performances, incredible local artists, and our first-ever Live Auction, featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and treasures.

All proceeds from this event go directly toward fulfilling our mission of bringing the gift of sound to children who need it most. Your support ensures these children have the tools they need to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
