$100,000 in 100 days to benefit Gift of Life and Le Bonheur

Gift of Life Mid-South is kicking off a 100 day campaign to raise $50,000 in a rare one-time opportunity to receive$50,000 in matching funds by the Le Bonheur Foundation. This is possible by a large anonymous donation made to the Foundation. Help us hit this goal which will fund 20 more kids to be brought to Memphis for life saving heart surgery. Your 501(c)3 donation is tax deductible. You can donate either by check to P.O. Box 220, Cordova, TN, 38088-0220 or by Paypal on our web site at giftoflifemidsouth.org. 100% of what we raise goes directly to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital to support the Heart Institute and the marvelous work they’re doing not only with Gift of Life kids, but children from all over the world. Thank you so much in advance for helping us!

**New Opportunity. Make a pledge by June 30th and pay it off by the end of the year and Gift of Life receives a match! See the pledge form on page 3 of the newsletter. We’re getting close to our goal!
