Where do your donations go?
Quota International of Metro Denver prides itself in the diversity of
our dollars. Currently, we are participating in Sound Beginnings, a joint project between Quota International, Inc's We Share Foundation and Siemens Hearing Instruments. Through this project, our local club has helped provide free hearing aids to needy children 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, at General's Park in Aurora,
for the elementary school (Preschool through 5th grade) deaf and hearing-impaired students. This event includes an Easter Bunny that uses
sign language to communicate with the children. We also sponsor Xmas parties with a Santa Claus at Aurora Public Schools and roller skating parties for deaf and hearing impaired students throughout the Metro Area.
