This fund was established in loving memory of Judge William W. and Helen S. Litke, longtime residents of State College, by their daughters Donna Litke and Helen Forman. With several members of the family suffering from hearing loss, Donna and Helen understood the impact of hearing loss and wanted to honor their parents by providing programs to assist other people. The fund supports programs which support residents with hearing loss from across Centre County. In addition to providing support for the local chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America, the fund has provided assistive listening devices for OLLI classes, assisted Easter Seals providing services to children with hearing loss, and assisted clients with hearing loss at Centre Volunteers in Medicine.
