At FHSR our goal is community for our kids and our families.  We have seen how difficult it can be children to not see peers who look just like them and how isolating it can be for families. We started a series of annual free family events to combat this issue and bring together children who are living with hearing loss and their families to celebrate the joy of hearing, share stories and uplift each other.  Our signature annual event, Cheers for Ears, is a free family concert (in its 10th year!) celebrating the power of music for children.  Cheers for Ears is targeted toward children under the age of 10, but all family members are welcome.  Bowling with Friends is a fun packed afternoon focused on bringing together children, tweens and teens to hang out and spend time getting to know other kids who also use a device to hear.  Both of these events work to create a community for children living with hearing loss.
