Words cannot express our gratitude
! Many of you helped gather pledges and donations to benefit Hearts of Hope and many of you showed up to run in honor or memory of a loved one. We are blessed to have such a great group of heart families and friends continue to platform our Michigan based organization. We take pride in the fact that Hearts of Hope is completely non-profit which means 100% of your donations will go directly toward helping local families that have been affected by congenital heart defects. We absolutely could not have done this without the support of you, our "heart family". Again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We look forward to next years race!

Save a Heart
Celebration!


The 18th annual
Save A Heart Celebration
 will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 12, 2010.

 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 them to continue to assist their 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, $75 at the door. You can print an
order form or contact Stephanie Cloutier, email slclout@umich.edu at 734-936-9134.
