Delmanor Senior Home Performances
This August, Hope For Hearing was welcomed at Delmanor Northtown’s residential home to organize a short music program with student performers.
Rather than a fundraiser for our cause, we used this opportunity to spread our love of music to the elderly, as they are disproportionally the most affected by hearing loss.
Upper Canada College Nuite Bleue 2023
In 2023 April, Hope For Hearing was featured at Upper Canada College’s annual spring musical concert, raising $2,000 for Sunnybrook's Cochlear Implant Department.
We’re incredibly thankful to all of the performers and parents who support our cause. A special thanks to Dr. Vincent Lin, a Sunnybrook cochlear surgeon, for providing a presentation on hearing loss as a keynote speaker.
