The endowment will provide access to clinical services for patients of all ages with speech, language and hearing disorders who otherwise would be unable to afford their care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A women\u2019s civic organization that helps meet the philanthropic needs of the community, Northwood Woman\u2019s Club has supported numerous North Texas charities and typically funds multiple organizations each year. To commemorate its 50th year, NWC selected the Callier Center as its sole beneficiary and raised $250,000, which was matched by other gift funds at the Callier Center to create a $500,000 endowment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to partner with an organization that had high visibility and respect in the community,\u201d said Vaughn Gross, NWC 2018-19 president. \u201cOur members realized that this was an extraordinary opportunity to support Callier and to be associated with a multifaceted, well-known organization that makes a difference in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NWC raised the funds by hosting a Divinely Decadent Birthday Bash Luncheon that was co-chaired by NWC members Rosemarie Ewton, Pam Meyercord and Beth Sutera. The event included fun activities, a live auction, a concert and a raffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, NWC awarded the Callier Center a grant for $40,500, which provided audiology and speech-language services through the cochlear implant program for children in need who are deaf or hard of hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunication is critical,\u201d Gross said. \u201cIf you cannot communicate, it is difficult to learn and participate in life. Giving people the tools to communicate opens doors and changes lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is a blessing to have this research, training and treatment institute in our backyard. The Callier Center is an asset for North Texas, a real gift for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> <em>\u201cGiving people the tools to communicate opens doors and changes lives.\u201d<\/em> <\/p><cite> \u2013 Vaughn Gross, Northwood Woman\u2019s Club 2018-19 president <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To commemorate its 50th year, Northwood Woman\u2019s Club selected the Callier Center as its sole beneficiary and raised $250,000, which was matched by other gift funds at the Callier Center to create a $500,000 endowment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5258,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema":"","fname":"","lname":"","position":"","credentials":"","placeID":"","no_match":false,"name":"","company":"","review":"","address":"","city":"","state":"","zip":"","lat":"","lng":"","phone1":"","phone2":"","fax":"","mon1":"","mon2":"","tue1":"","tue2":"","wed1":"","wed2":"","thu1":"","thu2":"","fri1":"","fri2":"","sat1":"","sat2":"","sun1":"","sun2":"","hours-note":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[60,41,55],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
