HEAR raised $63,000 at its fundraiser in December 2010. Proceeds from this will benefit the HEAR Feeds program and the 2011 HEAR Scholarship.

Thanks to all those who came out to help with HEAR Feeds on Saturday, November 6th. We delivered 40,000 lbs of chicken to people in need– that’s enough for 76,800 meals! Check out our Facebook page to see pictures of the day. (Click “Read More” to view the links.)

HEAR is giving $40,000 worth of college scholarships to Chicago-area students in need entering as freshmen in 2011.  Find out more about the HEAR Scholarship program. The deadline for HEAR Scholarship applications is January 28, 2011. Download an application
