Fourth Annual Tinnitus Awareness Fundraiser

The American Tinnitus Association (ATA) is thrilled to announce the upcoming dine-to-donate fundraiser hosted by Texas Roadhouse and its affiliate, Bubba's 33. Scheduled for February 3, 2025, this nationwide event marks the fourth year of raising awareness and funds for tinnitus, a condition affecting over 50 million people in the United States.

Honoring a Legacy

This special occasion is dedicated to the memory of Kent Taylor, the founder of Texas Roadhouse, who personally battled severe tinnitus. This fundraiser not only seeks to honor his legacy but also to spark conversation about the impacts of this often-misunderstood auditory disorder. Taylor's journey with tinnitus has fueled the passion behind the fundraiser, which allocates all profits from the event to the ATA, the nation’s only charity committed exclusively to the tinnitus community.

The Importance of Awareness

The event will kick-start Tinnitus Awareness Week—a time dedicated to shedding light on tinnitus prevention and its effects on the quality of life of those affected. Patrick A. Lynch, CEO of ATA, shared insights on the significance of this national fundraiser. "The ATA is the only U.S. public charity focused on mitigating the challenges faced by millions dealing with tinnitus. This unique partnership with Roadie Nation allows us to promote awareness and enhance support services for those affected by this condition,” he stated.

How You Can Help

Attending the dine-to-donate event is a fantastic way to get involved. Everyone is encouraged to bring their friends and family to indulge in meals that will contribute towards a noble cause. For those unable to make it on the day of the event, Texas Roadhouse and Bubba's 33 have announced that 10% of the value from online sales of ATA-branded gift cards will also benefit the ATA from now until March 31, 2025.
