The walk in Bemidji on Saturday, June 7 is from Diamond Point Park to the Paul Bunyan & Babe the Blue Ox statue and back, about two miles.

Hearing impairment will affect 1 in 10 people in the US. Hearing impairment impacts all from newborns to seniors by hindering speech, learning, and socialization. Minnesota Lions have raised more than $7 Million to support research and establishment of several programs that include Newborn Hearing Screening, a Children’s Hearing and ENT Clinic, Temporal Bone Lab, Voice Clinic, and an Affordable Hearing Aid Program.
