UPCOMING EVENTS
SAVE THE DATE for what will be the most festive and inspiring holiday event of the season!
The Joyful Life Cochlear Implant Fund was founded during the pandemic to ensure cochlear implant recipients didn’t go without sound.
Many people don’t know that CI’s require regular upkeep of the external part. Similar to a smartphone, the sound processor needs to repaired, replaced, and upgraded throughout the course of our lives.
A simple $250 can stand between someone having hearing or not.
We have a wonderful program lined up! Board member, Michael Noble, will serve as our emcee with musical talent, Madison Merry, entertaining us with holiday songs.
Our guest speaker, Jodi Michelle Cutler, is a powerhouse who will no doubt inspire you and remind you that anything is possible, no matter how long it takes.
Jodi is the mom of a cochlear implant recipient as well as an author whose book, which she co-wrote with her father 15 years ago, is currently being made into a movie called Rally Caps.
