The Dykes Agencies’ Community Program Introduces a New Charity Campaign in Georgia Bringing Awareness to Congenital Heart Defects and the Children’s Heart Foundation
Lithonia, GA (PRWEB) May 16, 2015 -- The Dykes Agencies debuts the new charity campaign in its recognized Community Program in Georgia, and announces that will direct its efforts to raise funds for the Children’s Heart Foundation in the name of Lily Granatelli. Lily underwent open-heart surgery on May 1st and her parents, Mike and Shannon, have taken it upon themselves to bring awareness of the Children’s Heart Foundation. Donations are being accepted through the campaign’s page at http://thedykesagencies.com/Healing-Childrens-Heart-With-Lily_13_community_cause.
The Children’s Heart Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that funds the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of congenital heart defects. The organization has supported 30 research grants across the US totaling almost $2.5 million.
“Motivated by the needs of our children, we are committed to reaching the foundation’s goal: to bring health, hope and happiness to children impacted by congenital heart defects. The Children’s Heart Foundation is a remarkable organization and we are privileged to have join efforts with them so that one day we can find the answers to why congenital heart defects occur and learn how to prevent them,” said Debbie Dykes, the Agency’s principal. “Despite the tough times that Lily’s parents are going through, it is inspiring how devoted they are to helping not only their daughter, but other children suffering from CHD.”
Through the agency’s network of customers, business partners, friends, staff and family, the initiative to spread the word about Lily and the Children’s Heart Foundation need will also bring awareness about Congenital Heart Defects. The Dykes Agencies will employ its valuable resources and reach out to the community, appealing on behalf of the Granatelli family, so that awareness and funds can be raised and children’s lives can be saved. The campaign will be promoted over the course of the next 45 days, through the agency’s social media channels, email and text message communications, as well as through their monthly magazine, delivered to thousands of households in Georgia, where the agency currently operates. Our Hometown magazine reserves a full page to feature Lily’s story, and other details. The electronic Flipbook version of the current issue can be accessed here: http://thedykesagencies.com/Our-Hometown-Magazine_39.
