Where do your donations go?
Quota International of Metro Denver prides itself in the diversity of
our dollars. Our local club provides assistence for those individuals, young and old, who need hearing aids and related services primarily in the Denver area.
We are currently sponsoring two $ 1000.00 scholarships annually: The
Elsie YarterScholarship, awarded to those either going into the
field of deaf and hearing-impaired education or to a deaf or
hearing-impaired student furthering his/her education; and the Mary
Scofield Scholarship for the Advancement of Single Mothers, awarded to
a single mother furthering her education beyond high school.
We sponsor an annual Easter Egg Hunt, in Aurora,
for the elementary school (Preschool through 5th grade) deaf and hard of hearing children. This event includes an Easter Bunny that uses
sign language to communicate with the children. We also sponsor, along with Kiwanis, several Xmas parties with a Santa Claus at Aurora Public Schools. Quota also holds a Skate City skating party for deaf and hard of hearing students throughout the Metro Area each year.
Hearing is not the only area that Quota of Metro Denver focuses on. We also provide goods and services to other local service organizations. For example: Several times a year, Quota prepares and serves dinner at Urban Peak, a shelter for homeless teens. In 2011, Quota began providing much needed goods to The Delores Project, a shelter for homeless women.
