Tell your story here! Your supporters will want to know about you and why you’re fundraising for this cause. I have been active in Florida Speech& Hearing for over six years. I have truly been amazed at what this charity has done for our community. They greatly care for their clients being young or old. It's such an important facet in our lives to have good hearing and so awesome to watch one. With four speech quality improved in their system. When you read our brochure of cast of stars, you done understand the story of what is accomplished at this charity. One young man used to just babble and never really vocalize his words. Through Speech& Hearing his challenge was met, and now he can convey his wants and needs. when you see those that have been affected throughout their life, then you're truly know the spirit of our cause. I am affected by these stars and I will continue support their cause. Please help me help them so they have a better future and intern help the future of Polk county. 

The Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that depends on the generosity of the community to support patients that require subsidized funding. It is through these individuals and organizations that we are able to turn no one away for services.

• The majority of the children treated at the Center are underinsured and have nowhere else to turn for services.
• 230 kids come to the Center each week for speech therapy; 90% of them require subsidized funding.
• The Center's diagnosis of children with hearing loss has increased by 300%.
• Last year, the Center doubled the number of patients seen for hearing sevices.
• Over 96,000 citizens in Polk County have a documented hearing loss.
• Hearing loss is associated with high blood pressure, dementia, diabetes and falling.

Mr. Central Florida is the Center's annual fundraiser, providing the funds needed to serve thousands of patients each year!
