We are incredibly excited and honored to be part of such a special event! Please join us as we come together to support Louisiana’s Tiniest Hearts!
IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!
We are still so overwhelmed with the amount of support we received last year. You’ll never know how much your support for our fundraiser matters.
If you’re new here, the Amelia Spires Heart Project Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that aims to raise money for Louisiana's tiniest hearts. In collaboration with the Ochsner Foundation, all proceeds raised from this organization go to the Ochsner Children’s Hospital. Our fund raises money to help these families on some of the worst days of their lives. These charities go towards housing, travel, utilities, living expenses and so much more for these families. Ochsner has Louisiana's only pediatric cardiology transplant program.

● Glasses
