Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) Trunk or Treat
The Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) participated in the Ambler YMCA’s annual Trunk-or-Treat event Saturday, Oct. 25, bringing festive fun and hearing health awareness to the community.
With an estimated 500 to 800 attendees, families stopped by the SAA trunk to enjoy candy, University and clinical giveaways, and Halloween-themed “squishy” items like eyes, hands, ears, feet, and mouths.
The event was a huge hit with children and parents alike, and SAA members shared all the giveaways were quickly claimed, with just a small amount of candy left at the end.
The team thanked Alena Hackett, clinical community outreach coordinator, for her assistance and everyone involved for their support in making the event such a success. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to engage with the community and share some Halloween spirit no spooky sounds required!
