 Red's Opening Day Parade


The Cin
cinnati Reds were baseball's first professional franchise, founded in 1869. It didn't take very long to realize that opening day in Cincinnati was special and the Opening day Findlay Market Parade was born. Next month on March 31, at 11 am, Aubrey Rose Foundation will celebrate opening day with our float in the 88th edition of the Findlay Market Parade.

Originally the parade was more of a pub crawl than a parade, with fans and players walking down the street to old Crosley Field, stopping occasionally for an adult beverage. Over the years the parade has gentrified into a family event with hundreds of entrants, drill teams, classic cars, local dignitaries and dozens of floats...one of which will be ours. If you're interested in being in the parade and a part of our float, please email Nancy at
nancy@aubreyrose.org.

Healing the World's Hearts - Hannah

Hannah will be the next child to benefit from our "Healing the World's Hearts" program. She is a Hannahbeautiful 4 yr. old girl from the Philippians who is suffering from Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a cardiac anomaly that refers to a combination of four related heart defects that commonly occur together. The four defects include Pulmonary stenosis, Ventricular septal defect / VSD, Overriding aorta, and Right ventricular hypertrophy. TOF affects about 5 out of every 10,000 births. It is very treatable and about 95% of babies are repaired within the first year of life instead of the 4th year of life.

Hannah has suffered through years of not being able to run and play like a normal child because of low oxygen. This is the same defect that Carly, our oldest, was born with. She was repaired 20 years ago on February 11 and is doing very well but could eventually need a valve replacement. 10 years previous to Carly’s repair, TOF kids did die from that defect, but in this day and age, it’s unacceptable that Hannah would die from this defect. We need to help her and get her fixed. I know it is just one child we are helping but it’s one child’s life we are saving!!!

The "Healing the World's Hearts" program was developed by Aubrey's Foundation with help from Cincinnati Children's Hospital doctors, surgeons and corporate support to provide "simple" heart procedures to sick children in the U.S. and developing countries around the world. We say "simple" heart procedures because these are surgeries which can be performed in the U.S. that can SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE letting them go back home to live a healthy and productive life without follow-up cardiac procedures.
