Dear Friends, Supporters & Volunteers:

Joy to the World! Thanks to our friends, supporters and volunteers, parents around the world have joy in their hearts not only at this time of the year, but all year long.  They are celebrating the lives of their children because of your generosity.

With the holiday season approaching and 2010 rapidly coming to an end, we reflect on all the wonderful things that were accomplished this year with the help of our supporters and volunteers.  This year, you helped provide operations to over 700 children in 16 countries. What an amazing gift you gave to their parents! A gift they will always cherish and be thankful for – - a gift that goes well beyond Christmas morning.  These children are now living healthier lives and their parents look forward to the holiday season with joy instead of despair.

As you think about your year-end giving, we ask that you remember International Children’s Heart Foundation.  For 2011, we have 50 medical mission trips planned to 15 countries, where we anticipate providing operations to over 1,000 children with congenital heart defects.  You can be a part of this lifesaving effort by making a donation by the end of the year.

Our budget for 2011 is a little over $2,000,000.  For a $2,000 donation, you can help save one child’s life – a small price to pay for a gift that lasts a lifetime!  For every $2,000 donation you make, we will send you a picture of the child your donation saved.  This child and their family will be forever grateful for your gift.

Every dollar you give will make a difference in a child’s life, so please give whatever amount you can afford.  For each $20.00 gift you make, we will send a holiday greeting card to your friends or loved ones.  Please fill out the form below and return it with your heartfelt gift today.  Hundreds of children are waiting for their chance atholiday joy.  Your generosity will make it happen!

We are very appreciative for your support this year that helped save the lives of so many children.  We look forward to your continued support in 2011. Over 1,000 children are depending on your help next year.Secure Online donations can be made @ www.babyheart.org. Checks can be mailed to ICHF, 1750 Madison Ave., Suite 500, Memphis, TN 38104

May the spirit of the season fill your heart with love, peace and joy.  Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Warmest regards,

William M. Novick, M.D.
