Oticon Doubles Donors’ Dollars
 When Oticon Pediatrics scheduled a knowledge-sharing weekend focusing on “More of What Children Need” in Washington, DC, Peer Lauritsen, president of Oticon, Inc., announced a new partnership with the AAA Foundation—a matching gift program targeted to audiologists who participated in the learning experience.
Through the Double your Dollars for Pediatric Audiology philanthropic initiative, Oticon, Inc. matched all donations made to the Foundation by those who attended the September meeting. The final outcome: a $6,000 gift to the AAA Foundation from pediatric audiologists and Oticon!
Peer Lauritsen, president of Oticon, Inc., announced the matching gift initiative with those at the conference : “Oticon Pediatrics shares a commitment with our valued partners in pediatric practice to optimize hearing care and solutions for the youngest and most vulnerable members of the hearing impaired population.” In addition, Kathleen Devlin Culver, AAA Foundation Director of Development, spoke with conference guests while they were in Washington, and had the chance to inform them about the pediatric programs their gifts would support. “ The Foundation was so excited to have the opportunity to meet this great group of dedicated audiologists who treat infants and children,” she said. “It was truly a pleasure to work with Peer, Sheena Oliver, Manager of Oticon Pediatrics, and the Oticon team on this project that allowed us to ‘double our dollars’ for pediatric audiology. On behalf of the Foundation Board, many thanks to all those who made generous donations. We look forward to continuing this partnership that allows us to support great programs in the hearing sciences.”
