Starkey Hearing
Foundation – which provides the gift of hearing to people in
need around the world – is pleased to announce its
entertainment lineup for the 2012 So The World May Hear
Annual Awards Gala scheduled for Saturday, August 4, 2012,
at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minnesota.
This year’s
roster of So The World May Hear Gala entertainers
includes will.i.am, K’NAAN, Bacon
Brothers, Jackie Evancho, and
Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers.
“We are
enormously fortunate to have the support of so many
wonderfully talented and committed artists from the world of
entertainment joining us for our 12th annual gala
this year,” said Bill Austin, Founder, Starkey Hearing
Foundation. “Their support, not only at this event, but also
as Hearing Angel ambassadors throughout the year, helps make
it possible for us to change lives through the gift of
hearing.”
The So The World May Hear Gala is Starkey Hearing
Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser and helps the
Foundation achieve its mission of bringing understanding
between people through hearing care and fit more than
100,000 hearing aids to people in need annually. In 2011,
the event raised $7.2 million, which has helped the
Foundation conduct hearing missions in such cities and
countries as Indianapolis, Minneapolis, South Africa, Haiti,
India, Israel-Palestine, Dominican Republic, Papua New
Guinea, and Colombia – all since last year’s gala.
In the last year alone, well-known figures such as President
Bill Clinton, Miley Cyrus, Sir Richard Branson, Garth
Brooks,
Marlee Matlin, Harry Connick Jr.,
Bill Rancic, Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Peterson and
Manny Pacquiao
have joined forces with Starkey Hearing Foundation to
deliver the gift of hearing through these global hearing
missions, while also helping raise awareness.

About Starkey Hearing Foundation
Starkey Hearing Foundation is striving to foster greater
understanding among individuals and communities through
hearing care by focusing on awareness, education, protection
and treatment, so the world may hear. Hearing loss affects
one in 10 Americans, and 63 million children worldwide, yet
many do not have access to the hearing devices that can help
them. From 2000 to 2010, Starkey Hearing Foundation fit more
than 500,000 hearing aids to people in need in the U.S. and
around the world. The Foundation has grown that commitment
to more than 100,000 hearing aids annually, and as a member
of President Clinton’s Global Initiative, it has pledged to
fit 1 million hearing aids this decade. In addition to
giving the gift of hearing through worldwide hearing
missions, Starkey Hearing Foundation promotes hearing health
awareness through the Listen Carefully initiative and
provides hearing instruments to low-income Americans through
the Hear Now program. For more information on Starkey
