Be a hero for children with hearing loss
Every child deserves to hear. By fundraising for Hear the World – you help making that possible.
What’s in for you?
Did you know that workplace fundraising is a powerful way to unite teams, foster connections, and ignite joy? Scientific studies show that giving releases dopamine in our brains – the “feel-good” chemical. So when you fundraise, you’re not just helping others; you’re boosting your own happiness and health!
What supporters did to raise funds
People and teams worldwide have organized fundraising campaigns to change lives of children with hearing loss. Get inspired!
Running for children to hear
Sporty Sonova employees participated together in the Zurich Marathon and used the opportunity to encourage friends and colleagues to donate to the Hear the World Foundation.
Tickets to change
Every year, colleagues organize an office raffle with prizes ranging from coffee machines to zoo admissions. Every ticket sold is a chance to win – and a guaranteed way to make a difference.
Bike to donate good hearing
Knowing what it’s like to experience hearing loss, Tom raised funds to provide children with hearing loss the much-needed care, by cycling coast to coast across the USA.
