Save A Child's Heart Chocolate Lollipop Sale

During the week of February 8-12, 2010, Members of Hoos for Israel, Sigma Delta sorority, and APO fraternity helped bake chocolate heart- shaped lollipops and other baked goods to sell as a fundraiser for Save A Child's Heart, an organization which provides free heart surgery for children under the age of eight who live in countries without good medical care. The children are flown into Israel, given the surgery they need, and given time to convalesce before being sent home--all free of cost. After tabling on the Lawn, outside the Chemistry Building, and inside Newcomb Hall, HFI successfully raised over $1000 for this organization.

Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) is an Israeli-based international humanitarian project, whose mission is to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from developing countries who suffer from heart disease and to create centers of competence in these countries. SACH is totally dedicated to the idea that every child deserves the best medical treatment available, regardless of the child's nationality, religion, color, gender or financial situation.


SACH is motivated by the age-old Jewish tradition of Tikkun Olam – repairing the world. By mending the hearts of children, regardless of their origin, SACH is contributing to a better and more peaceful future for all of our children.


The SACH mission is achieved through:
- Providing life-saving cardiac surgery and other life saving procedures for children from developing countries at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel;
- Providing a full outreach training program for the medical personnel from these countries in Israel;
- Leading surgical and teaching missions to partner countries in the developing world;
- Holding pre-operative and follow-up cardiology clinics in Israel and abroad.
