Save a Heart
Celebration!
The 16th annual
Save A Heart Celebration
will be held at 6:30 p.m.
on Friday, Nov. 7, 2008, at the
Michigan League. The goal is to
raise sufficient funds to meet the
needs of all the families of children
with heart disease and provide further
educational and
research opportunities for the health
care professionals at the Congenital
Heart Center.
Featuring more than 100 wines
will be available for tasting from around the world, along with food
samples from Ann Arbor area restaurants.
The event will also feature a silent auction and live music. The silent
auction will include items such as a Disney World vacation, jewelry,
children's items, Michigan and other sports memorabilia.
The proceeds from this event will be divided between programs in the
Congenital Heart Center and the construction fund for the Congenital
Heart Center in the new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. These funds will
allow us to continue to assist our patients and families in a multitude
of ways, including travel and lodging expenses for patients and their
families. In a time when more medical costs are being shifted to the
patient, one of our goals is to relieve the families' financial burdens
during an already stressful time.
Tickets are $60 per person. You can print an order form or contact Marilyn Hawkins at 734-936-9134 , email: samh@umich.edu.
