On February 21st, players from across Houston hit the courts for a day of competition and community at the D**k For A Difference, pickleball tournament benefiting Texas Hearing Institute.
Together, we raised $211,945 to support of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Funds from this event help provide hearing technology, speech therapy, and specialized early childhood education so children can learn to listen, speak, and thrive.
