Service to others enriches the world. The Delta Zeta Creed says, "To those whom my life may touch in slight measure, May I give graciously, Of what is mine." Our national philanthropies, supported by both collegiate and alumnae chapters, are speech and hearing and The Painted Turtle camp. Under the umbrella of speech and hearing, Delta Zeta has established two national speech and hearing partners as our philanthropic service partners. The Starkey Hearing Foundation is one of them. In 1984 Starkey Laboratories set out to change the social consciousness of hearing though education and research while providing the gift of hearing to those in need around the world. Starkey brings hearing aids to those less fortunate that could not otherwise afford one around the world. Starkey does on average 100 hearing missions a year. Starkey also has a huge celebrity support base. Starkey’s Annual Gala fundraiser brings NFL players, music performers and past US Presidents. Delta Zeta supports the Starkey Hearing Foundation through monetary donations to provide for hearing missions and, most recognizably, with the Build-A-Bear Program. Build-A-Bears are given out at every United States domestic hearing mission. Hearing missions occur at large, celebrity-filled events, like the Country Music Awards, the Daytime Emmys and the recent Super Bowl Hearing Mission. After children are fitted with their hearing aids, they visit the bear table where local Delta Zeta volunteers are waiting to help the child pick a Build-A-Bear that is outfitted with its own hearing aid.
