Gala Sponsorship

 

We hope you will be Hear for a Good Time! by joining Texas Hearing Institute in celebrating and supporting the future of our children at the 2021 Sound & Soul Virtual Gala!

On April 29, we will be honoring Laura Garwood for the many ways she has supported Texas Hearing Institute, listening to guest speaker Lance Allred, the first deaf player in the NBA, taking a virtual tour of our new state-of-the-art facility, hearing from special guests, and participating in competitive auction bidding!

You and your guests will be Hear for a Good Time! from wherever you want to be, dressed in whatever makes you happy. You may have either a gourmet charcuterie board or champagne basket delivered to everyone, or host a Jackson & Company catered meal or Chef’s Dinner in your home!

Thanks to generous donors like you, we are able to serve children who are deaf and hard of hearing from 36 Texas counties, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
