Have a Heart--Penny Drive

A penny, 1% of a dollar, is symbolic of the 1 out of 125 children born with congenital heart defects.  “Have a Heart” is a way to remember and support children and families affected by congenital heart defects and those caring for them one penny at a time. 

Find a bottle wide enough for a penny.  Each time you place pennies in the bottle, remember children, families and all the professionals working hard to care for children with congenital heart defects.  You might also think of things that you are thankful for.  When your bottle is full, make a donation to Stronghearts.  The thoughts are as important as the pennies that will be used to help families caring for children with congenital heart defects.  Part of the lesson of the Have a Heart penny drive, is that anyone, big or small, can make a difference by taking a moment to reflect and care.

Stronghearts can send you a heart-shaped bottle stopper for a suggested donation of $3.00 each.  Children may enjoy decorating the bottle and stopper.   It is easy using tissue paper and painting the bottle with liquid starch.  If you would like a heart-shaped bottle stopper send your request, address and a check to.
