WVU Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic 5K Monster Dash

Lace up your sneakers and bring your best costume! Join us for a Halloween 5K fundraiser supporting the WVU Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic, presented in partnership with the Scottish Rite, the Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders, and supported by the WVU chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA).

In partnership with the Scottish Rite, we serve West Virginia children through clinic scholarships and free summer reading, spelling, and writing camps. Every registration and donation helps a child build the communication skills they need to thrive.
