TK – 8th grade students are practicing their Olympic champion mindset and running extra laps in PE class in preparation for the 18th Annual ECDS Gift of Life Jog-a-Thon scheduled for Friday, March 13th. Since 2009, the initiative and effort of ECDS students, along with the generosity of their families, have provided life-saving heart surgeries to 611 children who live in developing countries around the world (Photos of those children grace the walls of the ECDS Library).
Gift of Life International (“GOLI”) is a 501 (c)(3), tax-exempt, non-profit organization that uses nearly 98% of donations it receives to defray the costs of providing life-saving heart surgeries to children in need. GOLI is supported by a team of pediatric heart surgeon and nurse volunteers who travel to targeted countries. Additional funding and in-kind donations are provided by medical equipment manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies.
