Founded
in 2006, Heart of Gold Charity, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization, strives to provide resources for families dealing with
the overwhelming effects of congenital heart defects and HLHS.
Heart defects account for one percent of all problems that families and
their newborns encounter after birth.
Charity
efforts of Heart of Gold Charity, Inc. will directly aid families that
are currently dealing with a heart defect situation at Children's
Hospital of Wisconsin. Heart of Gold Charity, Inc. will provide
all new pediatric heart families with gift bags that will help ease
their hospital stay.
Heart of Gold
Charity, Inc. also awards yearly medical scholarships. These
scholarships at local high schools will be for students who are
outstanding scholars and citizens interested in pursuing a career in
medicine or nursing. Additional money will be used as donations
for cardiovascular research and for treatment centers such as Herma
Heart Center at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Ronald McDonald
House.
