About Run to Break the Silence 2024

The 2024 Sandia Resort & Casino Run to Break the Silence benefitting Presbyterian Ear Institute was such a success! Thank you to everyone who made it out on Sunday, April 14th! We grew our run to 320 participants this year and in turn raised more than $60,000 to support our School for Oral Deaf Education, where deaf and hard-of-hearing children and children with language delays, listen, learn and speak! We hope you all enjoyed the event and that you will mark your calendars for next year's run - 4/13/2025! 

Thanks to our generous sponsors who made the event possible, to our volunteers who made all of the pieces work so smoothly, and to our planning committee who worked tirelessly to execute a great event!

Why Participate?

Imagine a world without sound, never hearing the rain, the beauty of music or the voices of your family. Imagine not hearing your parents say they love you, or never hearing your child’s precious voice speak the words, “I love you!” Now imagine you could change this outcome for a child!
At PEI, we give deaf and hard of hearing children the opportunity to learn to listen and speak and upon graduation, compete successfully with their hearing peers in mainstream schools and later in life. But, we can't do it alone!
We invite you to become a Silence Breaker by joining us for a morning of fitness and fun. Your participation will help raise funds to support PEI's School for Oral Deaf Education and ultimately change lives! 

How Your Support Makes a Difference

For 37 years, PEI has been committed to providing access to the opportunity for d/hh children in New Mexico to hear and speak. But, this specialized education comes with a hefty price-tag of $30,000 per child/ per year.  
As a non-profit organization, we host fundraising events like the Run to Break the Silence to support the operation of our programs and ultimately change the life outcomes of the children and families we serve. 
Your support makes it possible to retain the highest qualified staff, maintain the low student to teacher ratios (3/1) that our students need to be successful in learning to listen and talk, and offer tuition assistance to families. Because you decided to run, children attending PEI have the ability to grow up to do and be anything they want to be because they can hear and communicate with the world around them. Thank you!
