Halloween is an experience that every child should be able to enjoy. That's what inspired the creation of Halloween Hop.

As a nonprofit, we provide speech therapy to children through play, individual, and group therapy. A majority of the kids we serve struggle with communication or sensory processing, making typical social settings stressful or overwhelming. We wanted to provide a fun, sensory-friendly event where families can dress up, enjoy free activities, and reinforce the language and social skills they're learning in therapy.

Proceeds will support the ongoing work at Columbus Speech & Hearing to provide critical speech and hearing services that so many people rely on but struggle to afford.

Please reach out to Stacy Lombardo at slombardo@columbusspeech.org if you're interested in discussing future sponsorship opportunities.

For over 100 years, Columbus Speech & Hearing has been the leading nonprofit serving the communication needs of central Ohio and surrounding communities. Each year, we serve more than 8,000 central Ohio children and adults by providing audiology and hearing aid services, speech-language therapy sessions and evaluations, community outreach programs, American Sign Language classes and a Support Service Provider program. As a nonprofit, we serve all individuals – regardless of their ability to pay – because we believe that ability to communicate and connect are vital to our health and well-being.
