The Olive Osmond Hearing Fund hosted its 4th Annual event, “Sounds of the Night Gala” at the Chateau Briand. With special guest Merrill Osmond, lead singer for the world-famous Osmond family. 
This annual event was started to help raise money for children’s hearing aids and services for families who cannot afford it. Insurance does not pay for these devices for children, which cost up to $8000 a pair. For the past three years the money raised at these events have funded 517 hearing aids to children.

Event Recipients ‘’Bringing Music to Your Ears’’

Joseph Leone, Third Rail

Marywood University School of Architecture student, Joseph Leone, was honored by the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund (OOHF) at its Annual “Sounds of the Night” Gala fundraiser, held at the Chateau Briand in New York. Joseph has been a dedicated supporter of the OOHF, which raises money for hearing aids for children who cannot afford them. These devices, along with the medical support services needed to fit and maintain them, can cost thousands of dollars and are not covered by insurance in most cases. Without hearing aids, children would miss so much in life including the pleasure of listening to music. Joseph and his band, Third Rail, have been actively involved with the start of OOHF’s New York Chapter. Merrill Osmond, lead singer of “The Osmonds,” and his son, Justin Osmond, were on hand to perform with Joseph and Third Rail. They also had the pleasure to perform with legendary singer /songwriter Garland Jeffreys.

Honoree Charles Jarmon:

Debbie states that it was from her first meeting in 2014; “Charles has supported the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund in every way that he could to help children receive the gift of hearing through providing services, securing sponsors and getting hearing aids donated. Charles Jarmon’s help and support has enabled the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund to give 1 7 children in New York, and 500 in Mexico the precious gift of hearing. It has been obvious through his actions that he is not doing this because it is his job. His dedication comes from his heart. It takes a special person to have the desire to help others and we are grateful that he has chosen the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund to benefit from his dedication.”
