September 12, 2006, New York City --
A fire left the girl in pink (left) without her hearing-aids. The family had no money to replace them. Thanks to the Starkey Hearing Foundation and Lift Up America's NYC Kick-Off, she now has a brand new pair. (must see photos)

Lisa Cram (wife of LUA COO Gary Cram) was sitting in the back row during the recent Lift Up America Press Conference in New York City. Here's what she discovered:
"When a group of children went up on stage with Bill Austin (Founder and CEO of Starkey Hearing) and Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk" actor), a young woman next to me started crying. I asked her, 'Which one of the children is yours?' She replied, 'The little girl in pink. We had a fire in our home and her hearing-aids were destroyed in the fire. We have no money. If not for this [event] we would never have been able to replace them.'"

Yours for Helping Lift Up America,
