About the Luncheon
Hosted by the Foundation for the Callier Center, the Callier Cares Luncheon is the Callier Center’s signature annual fundraising event. The purpose of the luncheon is to raise resources through the Callier Care Fund to benefit children and adults who otherwise could not afford clinical care to overcome speech, language and hearing disorders.
The Bruton Family to Receive the 2022 Ruth and Ken Altshuler Callier Care Award
We are privileged to honor the Bruton Family with the 2022 Ruth and Ken Altshuler Callier Care Award. This award is presented annually to an individual or group who has contributed significantly to the betterment of the community and to advancing the care of patients with communication disorders.
Through a generous gift from the David Bruton Jr. Charitable Trust, the Bruton family established the David Bruton Jr. Endowed Lecture Series on Communication Disorders at the Callier Center in 1981. For 40 years, the series has provided continuing education and furthered professional development for students, clinicians, researchers and healthcare practitioners at Callier and in the community.
The Brutons’ generosity has advanced patient care through the dissemination of cutting-edge research by renowned local, national and international speech, language and hearing scientists. Please join us to recognize this remarkable family and honor the memory and legacy of David Bruton Jr.
Dr. Karl R. White to Receive the 2022 Campbell Callier Prize
We are pleased to honor Dr. Karl R. White with the 2022 Campbell Callier Prize. The Thomas F. Campbell Callier Prize in Communication Disorders is a biennial award that recognizes individuals for their leadership in fostering scientific advances and significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders. Dr. White is the Emma Eccles Jones Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Education and a professor in the Department of Psychology at Utah State University. He is also the founding director of the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM).
Dr. White is internationally recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on early identification and treatment of hearing loss. He has been invited to speak in 31 countries where he has assisted in the implementation of newborn hearing screening and intervention programs. Projects currently underway at NCHAM are focused on developing more effective hearing screening and intervention programs through research, improving public health information systems, training and technical assistance, and information dissemination. Dr. White serves on many national and international advisory groups for organizations such as the United States Department of Health & Human Services, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Dr. White will be the keynote speaker at the Campbell Callier Prize Conference on April 12.
Proceeds Will Benefit Patients in Need through the Callier Care Fund
Ruth and Ken Altshuler created the Callier Care Fund to ensure that children and adults would have access to essential care regardless of their income level or insurance coverage. Because of the Altshuler’s benevolence, these patients have the opportunity to overcome speech, language and hearing disorders, so that they may hear, speak and connect with the world.
