Clarke's Listening Walk at the ZooWe are sincerely delighted to receive an endorsement from Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech and are pleased to read their kind words about our fund. The Susan & Jack Holender Children’s Fund is committed to supporting Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech to bring the gifts of hearing and speech to children who are deaf or hard of hearing reach their potential by teaching them to listen and talk.

“Susan and Jack Holender exemplify an exceptional spirit of philanthropy, volunteerism and community engagement. Please accept our deepest gratitude to Susan & Jack for your sponsorship of Clarke’s first ever Listening Walk at the Zoo. Your support enabled us to successfully accommodate an eye-popping 1,000 event registrants and create a fun-filled, sun-dappled day that was enjoyable and educational for young and not-quite-so-young alike.

Your contribution to the Listening Walk was meaningful and impactful, and we truly could not have created an event of this magnitude without your assistance.  You helped spread the message to thousands of Philadelphia Zoo patrons that children who are deaf or hard of hearing can learn to listen and talk, and you helped raise awareness for Clarke, and, for that, we are so grateful. Please know how thankful we are for your support of the Listening Walk and of the Clarke community.”
