Stink Week is a week-long campaign to RAISE AWARENESS and RAISE FUNDS to support children with hearing loss and their families! Everyone who signs up for Stink Week is randomly assigned to one of our four teams - Hyena Legion, Sloth Squad, Skunk Force, and Musk Ox Movement - and teams work to raise awareness and funds for children with hearing loss.
Raise Awareness
Each day of Stink Week we will be posting facts and challenges about hearing loss. Everyone is encourage to log-on to www.stinkweek.org every day of Stink Week to learn something new and share what you've learned with others.
Raise Funds
