As Honorary Chair of this event, it gives me great pleasure to join you for\nthis evening of celebration in support of the Children's Hearing Institute. I only with I could be\nthere in person, as you honor my friend and a true humanitarian, Dennis Basso.\nI often speak about how no task facing American is more crucial -- or more challenging --\nthan the task of preparing our children for the future. But what does that mean? It means we\nmust help them overcome the barriers that keep them from reaching their fullest potential -- and\ngive them the tools and opportunities they need to compete successfully in today's global\neconomy.\nThat is why the work of The Children's Hearing Institute is so important. By promoting\nthe cochlear [Coke-lear] implants, you are giving deaf children the ability to hear the sounds that\nso many of us take for granted -- listening to music, hearing the laughter of friends, using the\ntelephone. And by educating, training, and counseling teachers and school officials, you are\nmaking sure that they have the support they deserve -- and the confidence they need -- to reach\ntheir fullest potential.\nTonight, we honor a man who has worked tirelessly to assure more of our young people\nare given this extraordinary gift of hearing -- Dennis Basso -- our Jule [Julie] Styne [Stine]\nHumanitarian Awardee. In addition to being one of the nation's leading designers, Dennis is\nalways finding new ways to serve and help others. We salute him tonight for his work on behalf\nof the Children's Hearing Institute. This evening is special for another reason. The President\nand I join everyone here in wishing Dennis a very happy birthday.\nI want to thank all of you for what you are doing to lift up the lives and the spirits of our\nchildren. I hope you all have a wonderful evening."
