Lights. Camera. THANK YOU!

The 2026 Benefit + Auction: Our Babies Are Superstars was a blockbuster hit.

Thank you for joining us on May 27th and for your support of Sound Start Babies’ life-changing early intervention, family support and nursery programs for infants and toddlers with hearing loss. More than 300 guests gathered in celebration of our 30th anniversary and our 2026 HEAR-o of the Year, Sound Start Babies co-founder Dr. Laura S. McKirdy. Together, we raised more than $400,000, including two of the largest live appeal donations in our 30-year history. We truly couldn’t do it without you! 

A special thank you to our sponsors who made this evening possible, and to all of our Sound Start Babies families and alumni who shared their stories. Enjoy the photos and video below, and reach out with any questions: Allison.White@soundstartbabies.org.

Tax letters have been mailed for all Benefit donations. Please let us know if you require a copy, an itemized statement or additional documentation.
