San Diego, CA - The Audiology Foundation of America, headquartered in West Lafayette, IN, held their Charity Golf Tournament at the Riverwalk Golf Club during the recent Academy of Dispensing Audiologists (ADA) Annual Convention. All audiologists were winners in this tournament as well as their patients, as the proceeds are used by the AFA for activities associated with the improving educational opportunities for audiologists. The charity tournament netted over $15,000 for the Au.D. movement. Current activities include working to achieve limited licensure status with a more protected scope of practice for audiologists and a joint feasibility study on independent accreditation for Au.D. Programs.
The tournament was possible because of the generous support from the hearing industry. The AFA thanks the following sponsors: Arizona School of Health Sciences, Beltone, ESCO/Lend-An-Ear, Gennum, GN ReSound, Madsen, Midwest Hearing, Oticon, Phonak, Siemens, Songbird, Sonic, Starkey, and Widex. Additionally prizes were donated by: Active Electronics, EARA Advertising, Electone, and Rayovac. Many participants received door prizes or prizes from the ''Prize Patrol''. The AFA hopes to see you at next year's event in Asheville, NC.

2nd Place Team - Lloyd Hutchinson of California and Richard Uzuanis of Illinois.
3rd Place Team - Dave Richard, Dave Brassine, Paul Pessis, and Alan Freint of Illinois.
