Nonprofit helps thousands each year thanks to generous supporters

Clad in “island” attire and leis, nearly 300 guests came together May 19 at the Timuquana Country Club to support Jacksonville Speech and Hearing. All proceeds from FinFest 2018 directly fund the 69-year-old nonprofit’s mission to provide the highest quality professional and compassionate care to all individuals in the community with speech, language or hearing disorders, regardless of ability to pay.

Event chairs for the second year were Tom and Kathy VanOsdol, who both began their careers as speech-language pathologists, and honorary chairs were Matt and Seana McAfee. President/CEO Michael Howland invited guests to participate in Fund A Child, an opportunity which provides an evaluation and therapy sessions. Over 13,000 adults and children with speech and hearing issues have been helped in the past three years.
