CELEBRATE SOUND Don't Walk in Silence is a national fund- and awareness-raising event created to help  promote hearing health in our communities.

Half of all proceeds stay with the local event host for support of projects in their community; the other half help fund Sertoma's national hearing health mission projects such as:

  • College scholarships for hard-of-hearing and deaf students;
  • Scholarships for those pursuing graduate studies in speech-language pathology or audiology;
  • SAFEEars! an awareness program for the prevention of Noise Induced Hearing Loss;
  • A Sound Investment campaign to promote public accessibility for people using assistive hearing devices;
  • Grants to local non-profits providing hearing healthcare in communities across the nation.

Registration is at 9:00am and the Walk (2 miles) begins at 10:00am. The event is sponsored by the Sertoma Club of Nashville. For more information go to their website at http://mycelebratesound.org/htmlcontent.asp?cid=624292.
