Deaf Kids Talk

Benefit 2009 

On behalf of the children of the Jean Weingarten Peninsula Oral School for the Deaf (JWPOSD), we thank you for making our 28th annual Gala Benefit, “Welcome Aboard the JWPOSD Love Boat.” a success! With your support we expect to have raised over $120,000!   Thanks to the generous donation of a private foundation, the funds will be matched dollar for dollar, totaling $240,000 for the children!! 

Your generosity and kindness helps JWPOSD keep its doors open to provide the finest oral/aural education available to deaf and hard of hearing children in the Greater Bay Area.

Every child has a dream, and every parent has a dream for their child. Our goal is to teach the children to listen, think and talk for themselves so their future is bright and they realize their greatest potential.

Thank you for supporting our school. Your investment changes the lives and future of our children!
