Wear a loud outfit and give deaf kids a voice this September

Canterbury

What is Loud Shirt Day?

Loud Shirt Day is the annual fundraising appeal dedicated to raising money for deaf children with cochlear implant or hearing aids.

Be a star on Loud Shirt Day – Friday September 29th 2017 – and help deaf kids learn to listen and talk like their hearing friends. If you've taken part in Loud Shirt Day before you'll know it's a great way to commit serious fashion crimes and have a whole lot of fun at work or at school or in your social group. And if this is your first year being involved with Loud Shirt Day, we know you'll have a fabulous time wowing your colleagues and friends with your brightest, funkiest shirt.

Money raised for Loud Shirt Day helps provide auditory-verbal therapy to deaf and hearing-impaired children so they can listen and speak like hearing kids. The aim is for deaf children to focus on their abilities, not their disability. This service is provided by The Hearing House (upper North Island) and SCIPP (south of Taupo).

Loud Shirt Day donations go to the region in which they were raised.

Nigel Paterson's involvement (page creator)

As a Spark staff member and Spark Foundation Ambassador I'm encouraging other sites around the country to get involved and do what they can. I also challenge anyone out there who wants to be involved to set up their own work or personal challenge. I will be wearing a loud shirt and running different fundraising ideas on the day in order to raise as much as possible. So come on people let's get involved!!
