A note from Marion...
Thank you for visiting our website and learning more about the Marion Downs Hearing Center Foundation. I must say it is a worthwhile cause and I strongly encourage you to learn everything you can about the deaf and hard of hearing communities, our mission and goals, and join our Friends of Marion Campaign.
The Foundation was formed in order to help raise money for the programs and services I strongly believe in. The vision began in the early 1950s when I was a practicing Audiologist. After pioneering the newborn hearing screening program, I discovered that services for the deaf and hard of hearing were few and far between. Individuals and families spent significant amount of time searching and traveling to places across the country that offered services they hoped would benefit themselves or their children.
With the help of friends like you, we can raise the funds necessary to construct a unique, state-of-the-art building to be located in Aurora , Colorado , which will house all of the educational, research and support services that are so desperately needed for our children.
I am fond of saying, "you need to find something you are passionate about and get involved." Providing services and helping children reach their full potential is my passion and it can be yours too. You can help make a difference today by contributing to the campaign with a financial contribution or by giving some of your valuable time to this worthwhile cause - after all, our passion is what keeps us young.
Yours truly,
Marion Downs
