The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation held two gala events during Convention to raise money for scholarships, research grants, and clinical achievement awards for students and professionals in communication sciences and disorders.
On Nov. 15, more than 550 donors, award recipients, and friends joined the ASHFoundation for an evening of history and breathtaking views at the stunning John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. Attendees enjoyed exclusive access to the museum exhibits and gathered in the spectacular museum pavilion for casual networking, camaraderie, and food and drink. Delmar Cengage Learning provided corporate support for this event.
On Friday morning, Nov. 16, the ASHFoundation's "Breakfast of Champions" honored 44 new awardees. The crowd of more than 300 donors, friends, and families cheered as the awardees entered, led by the Boston College cheerleaders, complete with orange pompoms.
