AWARDS & FELLOWSHIPS

“Blindness cuts us off from things, but deafness cuts us off from people” is a moving quote often attributed to the famous 20th-century activist and educator Helen Keller, who achieved a remarkable career championing the Deaf and blind.

Helen Keller Fellowship Plaques are available for an order to recognise a deserving person who has made an outstanding contribution to society.

For a donation of $1,000, the plaque is a great way to formally acknowledge such work, all the while contributing some much-needed funds to ALHD in our journey to train more dogs for people who deaf or hard of hearing.

Applying for a plaque is simple. Download and complete the form, make your donation, and we will send you a personalised plaque within 6 weeks. You can also call us and place an order over the phone.

The plaque is an A4 sized brass plate on a bevelled-edge timber backing with wall mountings. We recommend the plaque is hung inside or undercover outside. The images are laser etched onto the plaque with words of your choice. Other logos may be added and each plaque is numbered. You can find all Lions Australia award recipients, including Helen Keller Fellowships here.

When you apply for a Helen Keller Fellowship, please ensure we have the correct spelling and wording (particularly with telephone orders). Plaques will be dispatched by mail so please allow time for delivery.
