oaily ®ar llwi Health center fund-raiser has heart BY KATIE DIMMERY STAFF WRITER As Valentine’s Day approaches, at least one person is neither questing for dates nor writing sappy poetry. Christine Cotton, a volunteer for the newly formed North Carolina Children’s Heart Center, is planning to cover the windows of Franklin Street stores with hun dreds of pink and red hearts to raise funds for the new center. The fund-raiser, called Hearts on Franklin, allows Chapel Hill resi dents to make a charitable donation and proclaim their love or friend ship to the world. Participants can purchase heart-shaped valentines that will be displayed in the win dows of local stores. Cotton said the idea is for peo ple to buy a heart, personalize it with a message and then tell the intended recipient to check the store window where the valentine is on display. The fund-raiser coincides with National Heart Month, which begins Saturday and lasts until Feb. 2 9 Participating stores will sell the hearts at their registers. Pink hearts cost sl, while larger red ones are $5. All proceeds will go to the heart center. More than 50 stores, ranging from Student Stores to University Florist & Gifts, have agreed to take part in the event.

But University Florist isn’t the only store offering additional sup port to the fund-raiser.

Katie’s Pretzels and UNC’s pre health honor fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Delta, have teamed up to promote heart sales. The fraternity will sell the paper hearts in the Pit from Tuesday to Thursday, and the first 500 students to buy $5 hearts will receive $1 coupons for Katie’s Pretzels. The overriding goal of the fund raiser is to get the heart center off to a good start by “helping us gauge what we have fiinds to do and by raising awareness for the center,” THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2004 Cotton said. The center, which offers com prehensive services to North Carolina children with heart dis ease, assists in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care. Its center of operations, which is currently under construction, will be a build ing within the N.C. Children’s Hospital. “It’s a concept and a location being developed at the same time,” said Dr. William Henry, professor of pediatrics and chief of pediatric cardiology, who came up with the idea for the heart center. Many patients’ families lack funds even to come to the heart center, so Hearts on Franklin will help to defray their traveling expenses, including gas, food and hotel accommodations. It also will buy educational materials to explain confusing medical proce dures to patients and families. Cotton said she has high hopes for the heart center and plans to expand the Hearts on Franklin fund-raiser to a Hearts in Chapel Hill fund-raiser next year. She is already planning a statewide char ity fun-run for September. Any businesses or individuals interested in helping out should call Cotton at the N.C. Children’s Hospital Pediatric Cardiology Clinic at 919-966-4601. Contact the Features Editor atfeatures@unc.edu.
