Chicago Walk4Hearing

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CAPTIONING ON YOUR SMART PHONE
	Attention Walkers! Remember to bring your smart phones with you to the Walk because we will be streaming live CART to web-enabled smart phones. All pre-Walk speeches will be captioned on your iPhone, BlackBerry*, or Droid. So don’t leave your smart phone at home! On Walk day all walkers who have their smart phone can go to www.quickcaption.com. There on the website homepage will be a large purple Walk4Hearing icon. Simply click the icon, click the "CC" icon next to your Walk location, real time captioning will be enabled and displayed on your smart phone. This great service is provided by Quick Caption. *To view the captions on the BlackBerry, you will need to be running the BlackBerry OS version 4.6 or higher, enable JavaScript, and set the browser type to BlackBerry. Then open the live event with the BlackBerry browser.

The 2011 Walk4Hearing was a success!!  Everyone had a great time and we had over 1000 participants and raised over 100,000 dollars.  Next year we are planning to raise over 200,000 dollars.
