Wouldn’t something with extra special meaning be a memorable gift this holiday season?  That’s what GIVING TUESDAY is all about.

What better way to celebrate the holiday season then to give the gift of courage to a child fighting heart disease.  We encourage you to give the gift that has heart this holiday and help superhero’s like Liam, fight the disease that affects 1 in 100 children and is the leading cause of infant death in the U.S.

Use the power of giving to provide the power of courage to a child this Christmas.

1. Give a Heart Hero a Cape

Heart Heroes are given the strength and courage to fight CHD because of donations and sponsorship from people like you.  Heart Hero capes are sent to children all over the world to empower and provide them with support. Capes are requested via our Request A Cape form on our website.  Your support will allow a child fighting Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) to receive a special gift this holiday season in the form of a Heart Hero Superhero Cape delivered to their door or hospital room.

Donate to Heart Heroes this year in the name of a friend or family member.  After you have donated, print off this card and fill it out as your gift to let your friend of family member know that a child on our list will be receiving their Heart Hero cape soon.

2. Join our Cape of the Month Club

Many have asked, so we have delivered.  Join the Cape of the Month Club and give all year long.  A cape will be delivered monthly to a child fighting CHD.  Simply donate to Heart Heroes and choose recurring monthly option at checkout.

3.  Purchase gift certificates through TAGG

In Omaha, where Heart Heroes is headquartered, we have teamed up with TAGG (Together A Greater Good).  TAGG is an app that you download and allows you to receive great deals from local businesses.  With that, you also can give back to a charity of your choice (hint hint…that’s Heart Heroes).   Check out the list of businesses that participate in TAGG and then download the app!  TAGG is a great way to purchase gift cards, holiday baked goods or just a night out during the holiday season.

4. Give back with Online Shopping

Amazon.com is one of the largest online retailers.  From toys to socks to electronics, Amazon.com has it all.  Did you know that Amazon.com can give a percentage of your purchase back to a charity of your choice?  It’s called Amazon Smile.  Go to smile.amazon.com and log in with your usual Amazon.com account.  Select the charity you want to give back to and BOOM…instance giving back on your holiday gift purchases.
