Donations

All of the funds raised by Chapter members from sponsored events or activities go directly toward purchase of community AED's, supporting cardiac rehab patients, the CRMC rehabilitation program, and toward meeting the purpose and objectives of Mended Hearts.

Mended Hearts, Inc. is recognized by the IRS as a 501c(3) non-profit organization. You can be assured that any donations to Chapter 127 are used wisely and effectively.

Donations are made in support of Chapter programs not only by individuals, but also by local civic organizations, churches, commercial businesses, and local government. Oftentimes donations are received from families of cardiac patients who have received hope, encouragement, and other support during their surgery or recovery. Occasionally, memorial donations are made in lieu of flowers for those who have succumbed to fatal cardiac conditions.

Although certainly encouraging active and participating memberships, donations can also be made simply by becoming a paying member. Donations can also be earmarked for a particular purpose, i.e., AED purchase. All donations, regardless of reasons or purpose are profoundly appreciated and if a return address is provided, an acknowledgment and "thank you" for your donation will be mailed to you from Mended Hearts Inc, Chapter 127..

Donations can be sent to Chapter 127 Treasurer at the following address:
