The time has come again and the Delta Zeta Huntsville Alumnae Chapter in partnership with the Huntsville Track Club is so excited to host the Autumn Chase Fun Run at John Hunt Park this September! The Autumn Chase Fun Run (ACFR) is a 1-mile fun run promoting healthy
habits in our community's youth through running with a local philanthropic impact! The event is open to children in preschool through 8th grade, and free to everyone. Since ACFR is free for all participants, funds raised rely solely on our sponsors and donations! This year we are introducing the theme “Kids run for Kids” to further support our community of all ages. Proceeds from this event will directly benefit the Huntsville Hospital Pediatric Audiology Unit as well as local kid’s charities. Huntsville Hospital is a not-for-profit regional hospital that receives no city, state, or federal tax aide. Your support is critical and makes a huge difference in the lives of Huntsville’s pediatric audiology patients and their families! Through fundraisers like this, the Delta Zeta Huntsville Alumnae Chapter has donated over $500,000 in combined contributions to the Huntsville Hospital across a philanthropic partnership spanning over 40 years. Delta Zeta’s national philanthropy is supporting the speech and hearing impaired community. The Delta Zeta Huntsville Alumnae Chapter was among the
founding partners for Huntsville Hospital’s Pediatric Audiology Unit when it opened its doors in April 2010. These services are critical, as without this unit families in North Alabama may only receive necessary services in Birmingham or Nashville for this essential, specialized care.
Families with infants and children who have hearing loss will make far more than the 1-3 trips needed to accurately diagnose the level of their loss as well as determine the best path forward for normalized speech and hearing solutions.
Would you care to join us as a partner to ensure every infant or child with suspected hearing loss has access to the specialized care available at Huntsville Hospital’s Pediatric Audiology unit?
