Family and fun is at the heart of our events and activities.
 KEEP THE BALL ROLLING FOR DEAF KIDS, Bowling Fundraiser was a huge success! We earned more than we did last year and had a great time doing it. The event benefts Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing kids' programs at Family Services and was held June 19, 2010 at Capri Lanes in Kettering, Ohio. The event featured bowling, silent auction, and awards to the top competitive and non-competitive teams. 1st Place Competitive Team went to Beanie Bowlers No.2; 1st Place Non-Competitive Team went to Team Anderson!
100% of the proceeds from the event goes to help kids of our Community Services for the Deaf Program through drug and alcohol prevention education, camp scholarships, information and advocacy, SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect), counseling and case management (we strive to continue providing this service regardless of the family's ability to pay), and special projects.
We enrich the lives of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing kids--to enable them to lead rich productive lives.

Each year, from August through October, students from around the Miami Valley send in posters or essays under the current year's theme. The winners are selected by a panel of judges and recognized at an awards breakfast in November, during or near National Family Week. The contest recognizes talent and creativity in children and youth in our community and reinforces the importance of family.
