Annual Hear Here Funfest

Annual Hear Here Funfest To Raise Funds For Hearing-Impaired Children. For more information, please contact 416-364-2264 Organized by Toronto area audiologists Chris Kyroglou and Nick Veronico along with music industry publicist Eric Alper, Hear Here is one of the only gatherings to benefit hearing-impaired children in the country. The annual funfest will be held at Camp Robin Hood in Markham, Ontario. Last year more than 2,000 people enjoyed themselves so much while raising over $7500, Chris, Nick and Eric knew they had to do it again. With over 12 years of experience between them, Chris and Nick are dedicated to increasing access to hearing aids and other hearing devices for children. Many hearing-impaired children are not able to afford the aids largely due to recent government cutbacks and changes in the legislation. Responding to the need they witnessed in many of their clients, the idea for raising money came to Chris and Nick and their sponsors joined them enthusiastically. The monies raised will be donated to the Peter and Margery Keller Fund, a non-profit charity based at the Hospital for Sick Children. The fund makes hearing aids available to those who need them. This September the Hear Here funfest will feature a 50 table craft show with vendors from across Ontario, Juno-Award winning children performer Lenny Graf, Heidi the Clown, sports activities, food on-site, meet The Markham Firefighters, rides and games accessible to children of all ages.
