For the past several years, Sertoma has proudly partnered with the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) as an official National Alliance Partner for its nationwide Walk4Hearing program. This meaningful collaboration creates a powerful opportunity for Sertomans and supporters across the country to take steps toward supporting those with hearing loss.

Through Walk4Hearing, participants can raise funds to support our flagship hearing health: the Hearing Aid Project, which was recently recognized as a 2026 Hearing Health Champion Award recipient by HLAA. Whether you're passionate about hearing loss or helping individuals in need, your participation can make a real difference.

Ready to get started? Here’s what you need to know:

• Walk Your Way: One of the best parts of Walk4Hearing is its flexibility. You can join others at a community walk near you, connecting face-to-face with fellow supporters and advocates. If you prefer, you can also participate as part of a virtual team.
   
• Select Sertoma When You Register: When signing up, be sure to choose the Hearing Aid Project from HLAA’s list of National Alliance Partners. This is important because HLAA donates 40% of the funds raised by our participants directly back to our selected Sertoma project. That means your fundraising efforts have a direct, measurable impact on Service to Mankind!
   
• Why It Matters: Every step you take and every dollar you raise helps support people with hearing loss across the country. Whether it’s helping a student afford college or ensuring someone receives a much-needed hearing aid, your involvement amplifies Sertoma’s mission to improve the quality of life for those affected by hearing loss. This is also a perfect way to build a bridge between your local HLAA chapter and your club.
