1st Annual UC Irvine Lions Casino Night

1st Annual UC Irvine Lions Casino Night !!!!!!

We are holding a casino night on

June 21st, 2008 from 6pm - 9pm

at: Bren Events Center at UCI

To benefit: All proceeds go to hearing devices for needy children and hearing research

Theme: Mardi Gras!
Food: New Orleans Buffet
Drinks: No host Beer and Wine

Cost: $50

Silent Auction: We will be auctioning off top of the line hearing aids.
How it works: Hearing aids will be auctioned as a pair with an MSRP of approximately $10,000 (UCI sells them for about $6500). The starting bid will be $2000 for the pair. The winning bid will receive the hearing aids with all necessary testing, fitting and followup for the life of the hearing aids provided by UCI. The devices come with a 2 year warranty.
* Being top of the line hearing aids, they are appropriate for most types of hearing loss. If, for some reason, these aids are not appropriate, we will exchange them for a device to fit your specific loss. Company representatives for each pair of hearing aids will be at the event to talk about the benefits of their hearing aids.

-Currently we have GN Resound attending with 1 pair of Dot30 hearing aids.
-Starkey has given a soft confirmation but we are still determining the device
-Widex and Phonak have both been invited and will probably attend
More information will follow as it becomes available.


Please see the attached flyer and contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Jeff Carroll
President, UCI Lions
