If you have the capacity to give back, we are asking you to give a little bit of your time, your knowledge, your participation, your insights, and whatever else you have to offer on the American Academy of Audiology Foundation’s (AAAF) inaugural Day of Giving.
The Day of Giving will be held on Thursday, October 20, 2022, featuring recorded interviews from donors and scholarship recipients, videos from members, and fun activities in which anyone can participate.
Each year, the Foundation funds over $105,000 in scholarships and grants; made possible because of donations from industry and members like you.
The Foundation has helped students on their journey to become professionals and financed developments in research in areas such as hearing and balance, musicians with hearing loss, pediatrics, and much more. To celebrate all the Foundation has done and will continue to do, the Day of Giving will be filled with activities, recognition, and promotion of all audiology has to offer the health-care environment.
Social Media Challenge
You can participate by entering our social media challenge to raise the profile of audiology and get people talking about valuable audiological care. Take a quick video, recorded on your phone, or created using Instagram or TikTok, and spend 30 seconds listing the “Three Things You Hear in an Audiologist’s Office Every Day.” This is your opportunity to be creative and have fun! To submit your video, e-mail the .mov or .mp4 file to infoaud@audiology.org with the subject line “Three Things.”
We will review and post the top videos on our Academy Facebook page throughout the Day of Giving, so be sure to jump on and see if yours was selected, or like, comment, and reshare the uploaded videos of your colleagues to help spread the word!
