  Gift of Life Foundation
 

Gift of life provides life saving open heart surgery to children from countries where such care is unavailable.

Minimum raised by 2.5 runners will repair
a child's heart.

Without care provided by this Rotary based program, the children would most likely not live to adulthood. It also trains surgeons in their own countries to develop sustainable pediatric cardiac surgery centers.

GOL is deeply appreciative of the efforts of the following New York City area hospitals and their medical staffs: Montefiore, Westchester Medical, New York University, St. Francis, and Stony Brook Medical Centers; and Schneider Children's Hospital.
