Earicles supports an annual comprehensive conference to educate Microtia and Atresia (hearing loss) patients worldwide on the most effective treatment options available to them and their families. The conference will provide patients and their loved ones with key access to nationally recognized experts and cutting-edge research in the field of ear reconstruction. The conference’s unique format brings together individuals who have completed treatment and those who will do so in the future, fostering a community of mutual support and learning for families coping with the many stages of Microtia. Earicles is dedicated to advancing treatment options for children born without ears through innovation in surgical ear reconstruction and contributions to Microtia research. Earicles’ early research priorities include determining the psychological and physiological benefits of ear reconstruction and exploring why Microtia affects some populations at a higher rate. Earicles builds public awareness and support for Microtia patients through both national and international outreach efforts. Earicles advocates on behalf of patients to secure health insurance coverage for Microtia surgery and dispel the belief that it is a cosmetic procedure. By partnering with existing advocacy groups, Earicles fosters an accepting community for Mictoria patients and their families. Earicles provides cost-free and/or reduced cost surgical care for children with Microtia so that they can regain their confidence and experience a stigma-free childhood. In 2013, Earicles sponsored 3 cost-free surgeries and 5 reduced cost surgeries to children with microtia. Earicles will be sponsoring three surgeries in 2014 to those children .

SAGE inspires people over 50 to give forward with their time, money and voice so that younger and future generations can thrive. Our supporters believe in generational equity: the principle that each generation should improve the quality of life for the next. We motivate action and volunteerism through workshops, discussions and long-term fellowships to encourage older adults to support causes that are vital to the future, including education, the environment and economic opportunity. SAGE reminds each of us that age should never limit our potential, and that we all can make a difference for future generations. Whether an individual has been involved in civic service and giving for decades or is new to community involvement, SAGE enables and encourages older adults to progress along their own pathway to giving forward. Through a robust set of programs, we help older adults identify their priority areas, learn their options for involvement, get actively involved, and increase impact.
