United by purpose and compassion, employees from Oticon and Demant once again joined forces with the Oticon Government Services team to participate in Community Hope’s Flag Day 5K Run/Walk on June 12, 2025. This marks the team’s seventh year supporting the annual event, which raises funds and awareness for Veterans in need.

Team Oticon was represented by over 70 participants at this year’s event, both in person at the Lyons VA Medical Center in New Jersey and virtually from across the country. On site, the team hosted an informational booth featuring educational materials and resources for event participants.

"Oticon Government Services is honored to continue our partnership with Community Hope in this vital fundraising event that aids veterans and families in overcoming homelessness" said Sarah Draplin, AuD, CCC-A, F-AAA, Senior Manager, Training and Education, Oticon Government Services. "Our dedicated team collaborates daily with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and other federal agencies to deliver innovative technology that significantly benefits veterans with hearing loss. The Flag Day celebration is a wonderful opportunity for us to show our gratitude and admiration for the brave men and women who have served our country."
