CHD Awareness Week (2/7/10-2/14/10)

IT'S CHD AWARENESS WEEK!

How are you spending the week?? I'd love to hear from you.

We kicked it off right last night when It's My Heart - Metro Detroit hosted our 1st Annual Raise a glass to CHD Awareness Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Fundraiser! We had about 75 people attend and all of our AWESOME auction items went to good homes. We were incredibley blessed by the event and, when I have some pictures, I am going to devote a post to the event (look for it this week).

Our plans for the week include:

Using the blog to promote awareness by posting facts about CHD and/or "Faces of CHD" stories every day until Sunday

Wearing articles of clothing promoting awareness... OR just red with an IMH button

IMH-Metro Detroit has a display at the Awareness event at UofM's Mott Children's Hospital and flyers posted at Children's Hospital of Michigan.

On Saturday, IMH will be attending a fundraiser with Heart of a Child to raise money for CHM's Cardiovascular Surgery Department.

For today, please enjoy the video that played at our event last night! A big thanks to Krista for doing this for us!
