    "Let's Dance for the Heart of It!"

    The Aubrey Rose Foundation hosted it's 2006 "Let's Dance for the Heart of It!" on Friday, November 10.  Over 400 people enjoyed the venue and dinner at the Newport Syndicate, live auction by guest auctioneer, Michael Testa of The Michael Angelo Auction Company, and music by the Soul Pocket Band.

    This fun event provided the rare opportunity to raise $50,000 for the Aubrey Rose Foundation's "Healing the World's Hearts" program where they will be bringing Elena, a three year old Russian girl to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for open-heart surgery and also to pay for funding a Holiday Party for the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

    We would like to thank our sponsors for supporting this wonderful evening:  Green Township Firefighters, Children's Hospital, Crew Capital, ArtBoy and Legacy Financial Advisors, LifeCenter and Lincoln Financial Advisors along with our tables sponsors of American Contracting Services, Inc., Duke Energy, Debbie Nelson, Hal Welge Building Contractor and Miracles for Life.

    We would like to thank everyone who attended this event as well as those who could not attend but kindly sent in a donation.  Every little bit helps to go towards putting smiles on the faces of many children and their families.

    Healing the World's Hearts Program

    November 15, 2006, TODAYS THE DAY!!!
    Our First Healing the World's Hearts patient arrives today!!!
    Elena Morozova and her family come to Cincinnati today, November 15, 2006.  Channel 9 News will be there to film the arrival of this beautiful little girl with a not so perfect heart and Carol Williams will be following her story throughout their stay in Cincinnati.  Dr. Peter Manning and staff at Cincinnati Children's Hospital will be fixing her heart so that she can go back to Russia and live a healthy and productive life.

    Foundation Wrap Up: Closing Notes


    Friday night at the Dance was a very special night for us.  This was the 6th anniversary of Aubrey's death and we made it a very festive occasion.  We honored her memory and championed her cause of putting smiles on the faces of many children and their families.  This past Sunday, November 12, would have been her 9th birthday.  Hard to believe it's been that long.

    There was a lot of people who recognized Aubrey this past weekend and for that, we are truly blessed.  We know our work is cut out for us in raising awareness that the Aubrey Rose Foundation can help many families with putting smiles on the faces of their children and ease some of the burdens from having a child with a life-threatening medical condition. 

    We thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and double lungs for making our weekend reminders of Aubrey truly special.
