The Jason Cunningham Charitable Foundation, a non-profit that assists children with hearing loss, is holding a golf fundraiser in the fall.
The Jason Cunningham Charity Golf Classic takes place Oct. 17 at Horseshoe Bend Country Club (2100 Steeplechase Lane, Roswell) and includes prizes and other activities.
Cunningham, a 1999 graduate of Wheeler High School, suffered from hearing loss as a child, and he ultimately received hearing aids. But as an adult his communications issues led to depression, and he died in 2015 at the age of 34.
His friends and family began the foundation to raise funds and awareness for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Since its inception six years ago, the JCCF has raised more than $400,000 to provide financial assistance for education, advanced hearing technology and medical care to more than 60 families and more than 300 children.
