J.D. Byrider Sponsors Hearing Speech & Deaf Center’s Zoo Day 2010
This year J.D. Byrider teamed up with Cincinnati’s Hearing Speech & Deaf Center for their 8th annual Zoo Day. The event was held on June 26th, 2010 and was an overall tremendous success. All day visitors were treated to discount tickets, American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreted Exhibits, free lunch and camaraderie. In total, over 360 people attended this year’s event, making it the largest event of its kind nationally. Among the individuals in attendance were 12 children from a program in Westerville Ohio, a Deaf family from Romania staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati, individuals and families from Indiana, Michigan and other far off locations, as well as, 13 college students who obtained practicum experience under the supervision of professional interpreters.
It’s an unfortunate reality that individuals in the Deaf community have long succumbed to scams, poor business tactics and unfair treatment. J.D. Byrider, with its mission of honesty and integrity, saw the event as a great fit to its overall business values. The collaboration between the Hearing Speech & Deaf Center of Cincinnati and J.D. Byrider was a not only a great fit, but also an enormous success. Check out pictures from the Hearing Speech & Deaf Center’s 8th annual Zoo Day 2010 below:
