Play it by Ear: Event Suggestions – Overview

Under the umbrella name of Play it by Ear, we'll help Lions Clubs and other groups bring their communities together for a fun activity that raises donations for our hearing programs.

Below are some event suggestions to get your creative wheels turning…but by no means are you limited to the ideas and names presented here!

As you decide on your event, consider the many ways to raise money within it. For an even bigger impact, also think about how to get participants to care more about a sense many take for granted:

Pass out ear plugs for your hikers to experience what the world is like with hearing loss. Host a silent movie night at your local theater. Or use our 50 hearing facts to create a trivia question for each golf hole.

The possibilities are endless, easy, and memorable. Check out some ideas involving sports, music, or just random fun & entertainment!

Featured events are marked with an asterisk. We've provided step-by-step instructions and volunteer suggestions for them.
