Hosted by the Foundation for the Callier Center, the Callier Cares Luncheon is the Callier Center’s signature annual fundraising event. The purpose of the luncheon is to raise resources through the Callier Care Fund to benefit children and adults who otherwise could not afford clinical care to overcome speech, language and hearing disorders.

We are privileged to honor the Bruton Family with the 2022 Ruth and Ken Altshuler Callier Care Award. This award is presented annually to an individual or group who has contributed significantly to the betterment of the community and to advancing the care of patients with communication disorders.

Through a generous gift from the David Bruton Jr. Charitable Trust, the Bruton family established the David Bruton Jr. Endowed Lecture Series on Communication Disorders at the Callier Center in 1982. For 40 years, the series has provided continuing education and furthered professional development for students, clinicians, researchers and healthcare practitioners at Callier and in the community. The Brutons’ generosity has advanced patient care through the dissemination of cutting-edge research by renowned local, national and international speech, language and hearing scientists. Please join us to recognize this remarkable family and honor the memory and legacy of David Bruton Jr.

Ruth and Ken Altshuler created the Callier Care Fund to ensure that children and adults would have access to essential care regardless of their income level or insurance coverage. Because of the Altshuler’s benevolence, these patients have the opportunity to overcome speech, language and hearing disorders, so that they may hear, speak and connect with the world.

Proceeds Will Benefit Patients in Need through the Callier Care Fund.
