Don't know what Loud Shirt Day is in aid of? Details are below along with some really good reason why you should support this day. Please watch and read the information.
Loud Shirt Day, October 21 is an annual fundraising initiative co-ordinated by First Voice, an alliance of early intervention hearing service providers who teach deaf and hearing impaired children how to listen and speak. This year, First Voice Centres are aiming to surpass our event registrations in 2010 to make 2011 bigger and better, ensuring that our services can maintain the highest quality of treatment for hearing impaired children.

I don't have an immediate family who are deaf but I do have a number of friends who have children who do. I always pick up merchandise supporting charities as a few bucks from all of us can actually go a long way. After a few of our own personal experiences using various charities and not for profits you learn that you got to give back. I like the saying
"It doesn't matter how big or small, it matters that you gave at all!"
"It doesn't matter how big or small, it matters that you gave at all!"
This year you can help out by hosting a LOUD party, purchase merchandise from Caltex servos, make donations online and of course wear the loudest shirt you have. Please check out this link to find out more details
So what do you say, will you give it a go? I will be wearing my loud shirt tomorrow (it is loud for me - didn't you know I am a bit scared of colour?)
For me Friday is not only Loud Shirt Day, but also ProBlogger Training Day so If I can wear a bright colour then so can you! Please :)
I encourage you to find the LOUDEST shirt you own and wear it! Get your friends, family and work mates involved too and have some fun for a fantastic cause. I would love to see your loudest shirt please upload a picture to our facebook page Oh Gorgeous Baby
