Our 9th Annual Deaf Awareness Day was a great success! The event was a Sunday afternoon this year, and almost 100 people were present and enjoyed the phenomenal weather! We also set up an informational table for the general audience, so that anyone at the game could learn about the services provided by CSDHH and by DSDHH.
Two Deaf Education students from Grimsley High School signed the National Anthem, and Brian Poe threw the first pitch! Brian coaches the Thomasville High Bulldogs, and many of his team members surprised him by showing up at the game to show their support!
Two of our attendees also got to participate in some of the Grasshoppers' fun activities, and each won a prize!
We also partnered with Cynthia Poupard of Cynthia's Creations & More, and 9 lucky winners received a cup with a custom design by Cynthia. We also gave each of the National Anthem signers and Brian Poe a cup as a small token of our appreciation. Thank you, Cynthia!
We value this year and every year our partnership with the Greensboro Regional Center of the Division of Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to plan and coordinate this event, as well as to help ensure this event is accessible and fun for all.
Thanks to everyone who attended this event, and we can't wait for our 10th annual event next year!
