We are a group of graduate students in the field of Audiology, Speech-Language Pathology, and Deaf Education at Utah State University who have a special interest in providing early intervention services and auditory oral training to children with hearing loss and their families. We are working in conjunction with the Global Foundation for Children With Hearing Loss to provide education, training, and resources to children, parents, and teachers in Vietnam Summer 2011.

This blog is used to provide information regarding fundraising activities, upcoming events, services provided, and information on the graduate students as they work hard to raise enough funds to cover supplies, educational materials, and travel expenses.

Grand Total and Chili's Night!

We're done with our first round of fundraisers! Thank you to everyone who ordered ice cream and/or pizza coupons! We can't do any new orders for ice cream, but our pizza coupon book for $5 is still going on for a couple more weeks! Let us know if you'd like to purchase one!

Between our orders and a few donations we've received, we did pretty well! We've still got orders trickling in for pizza, too. At our last count on February 13th, we raised a total of $516.54. In just one week, we've increased our current total to:




Nearly $1000! Thanks again to everyone who contributed. We really appreciate it!

Our next fundraiser is Chili's Night in Logan! It's this coming Tuesday, February 22nd at Chili's on Main Street. Go eat there from 3pm to 10:30 pm, and tell them that you're there to support the Global Foundation for Children with Hearing Loss. Then, our USU's Aggies Go Global group will receive 10% of your total bill in support of the Foundation! Pretty simple, eh? ...and you've got to eat anyway, right?
