Olive Osmond Perpetual Hearing Fund

Olive’s original dream to raise deaf awareness by providing others with the Gift of Better Hearing.

Olive's Mission
The mother of the famous singing Osmonds, known affectionately world-wide as "Mother Osmond," made a life-long commitment to supporting new research and innovation toward improving the quality of life for the hearing impaired. Olive Osmond's journey began with the discovery that her two oldest sons were severely hearing impaired. Her efforts led to the establishment of the Osmond Foundation, an organization that promoted hearing health awareness. The support and love of the original four singing Osmond Brothers was manifest when they began their career in order to raise money for the best hearing devices available for their brothers. Eventually, the Osmond Foundation grew and expanded into the Children's Miracle Network.

Justin Osmond
Merrill Osmond's 2nd son, Justin, was born with the same sever-
profound hearing sensorial-neural hearing loss from which his uncles
Virl and Tom suffered. Justin was very close to his grandmother
Olive and loved hearing her stories about helping other children who
were deaf. Sensing her determination to aid the hearing impaired,
Justin dedicated himself to continue her passion in building her
dream to greater heights.

Our Mission
Motivated by his unconditional love for his grandmother, Justin established the Olive Osmond Perpetual Hearing Fund. This is an opportunity to re-establish Olive's original dream to raise deaf awareness and promote hearing educational services by providing others with the Gift of Better Hearing. Through the help of Hearing Angels like you, this project will be supported by funds raised specifically to sponsor hearing-impaired children in humanitarian hearing missions across the world in honor of Mother Osmond. In conjunction with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, Justin continues to carry on Olive's legacy in helping provide the Gift of Better Hearing to children worldwide.

An annual vote will determine which country receives the Gift of Better Hearing. The number of children we help depends on how much funding is raised. For more information on how to become a Hearing Angel to sponsor these deserving children, please CLICK HERE.

For 2010, we are going to Ethiopia. Because of the unselfish dedication of Hearing Angels, these children will be able to hear the wondrous sounds of the world around them. THANK YOU! For more information on how to help sponsor the Ethiopian children, please CLICK HERE.

Justin strives to live his life by the statement given by Thomas S. Monson,
“We build up our income by what we get,
but we build up our lives by what we give.”

By giving our time, efforts, and even our money… we not only build up our own individual lives, but the lives of others.
