This year we are excited to support the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation in their endeavors to save the lives of children living with heart defects in South Carolina and around the world. Each year, more than 44,000 (almost 1 in a hundred) children are born with heart defects. The ERHF has already been very engaged in advocating for children with congenital heart defects (CHDs) by working with South Carolina State Senator Thomas Alexander on legislation requiring every newborn in SC to be screened for heart defects before they are discharged from the hospital. Through the efforts of the ERHF, Governor Haley signed the Emerson Rose Act on June 13, 2013. The ERHF has given over $19,000 to supply Pulse Ox equipment to dozens of hospitals, saving countless lives in right here in Greenville, SC. In addition to helping the lives of infants across the Upstate, ERHF is currently reaching out to children from 3 rd world countries (where heart surgery is not available) by bringing them to the US in order to have lifesaving Open Heart Surgery. Because of this global outreach, the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation is able to help children live healthy lives all over the world as well as right here in South Carolina. Along with improving the lives of people living with heart defects across the world, the ERHF funds medical training necessary to perform heart operations. By allowing medical personnel to practice various procedures, outcomes of Open Heart Surgeries are significantly better. A small portion of our funds will be used to fund the JL Mann After-School Transportation Program as well as helping the Special Ed Department. Since its introduction 3 years ago, the after-school program has allowed many students in our school to stay for extra academic help and tutoring sessions, along with allowing them to participate in extra-curricular activities. This program has been vital in helping kids who ride the bus graduate. All week long there will be places to eat breakfast and dinner; the restaurants give us a percent of the proceeds from that morning or night so you don't have to worry about cooking all week!! Lunches will also be offered, so send money to school every day!!!
Every day has a dress up theme, so make sure your outfits are perfect; we will be looking for the best of the best!
