From Todd Hallberg, Executive Director:

Since stepping into this role, I have been truly humbled by the incredible support for the Listen Foundation from so many of you. At the same time, it’s difficult to hear that many Colorado families with babies who are deaf or hard of hearing have not yet discovered the Listen Foundation and the life-changing work we do. They may not realize that their child can learn to listen and speak, without having to rely solely on ASL.

Colorado Gives Day, on December 9, 2025, is the perfect opportunity to spread the word and help families learn about the hope, tools, and successes that the Listen Foundation provides. Our “Give $10. Tell Ten.” campaign is about more than donations.  It’s about connecting families with the support they need and raising awareness about the life-changing programs we offer.

Here’s how it works: Give $10 (or more!) to the Listen Foundation, then tell ten friends, family members, or colleagues about the Foundation and invite them to give. Encourage them to continue the chain. Awareness grows exponentially when we all share our stories.
