Miley Cyrus Announces Return to Haiti for Starkey Hearing Foundation

Press Release (July 27, 2011) — Miley Cyrus announced she will be joining the Starkey Hearing Foundation for a return visit to bring the gift of hearing to Haiti after making a generous donation that helped tip the scales at this year’s So The World May Hear Awards Gala held on Sunday, July 24, 2011. During the event’s silent auction, Miley placed a bid on what will be her second hearing mission to Haiti — and won. The end-of-evening donation helped the Foundation edge past last year’s funds raised ($7 million), and reach a record-breaking $7.2 million for the evening. Miley first visited the country with the Starkey Hearing Foundation in March 2011, where she helped distribute hearing aids to those in need. It was Miley’s first introduction to the Starkey Hearing Foundation, and quickly led to her involvement in the Foundation’s Listen Carefully campaign.
