Among other suggestions, World of Children Award lists simple but unique ideas to celebrate love and generosity: volunteer at a local school, visit sick children in the hospital, shop for gifts on websites that give part of your purchase back to charity, or help fund life-saving heart surgeries for children who desperately need treatment.
“The gift of life is the greatest gift we can offer to a child,” said Harry Leibowitz, World of Children Award’s Co-Founder.
Through February 14, donations made to World of Children Award will support Heart to Heart International Children’s Medical Alliance, a program established by Dr. Nilas Young, recipient of the 2012 World of Children Health Award. Since 1989, Dr. Young and Heart to Heart have saved the lives of more than 15,000 children with a heart defect, ensuring they get the treatment they need to survive.
“Heroes like Dr. Young give me hope that one day -- one little heart by one little heart -- every child will have an equal opportunity to lead a healthy life, no matter where they are born,” Leibowitz said.
