LIVE AUCTION<br />

Open Your Heart<br />

Year after year, passionately-committed donors and volunteers like<br />

you have embraced the challenge of building healthier lives, free of<br />

cardiovascular diseases and stroke. You, our supporters, have been the<br />

driving force enabling groundbreaking advances in such areas as research,<br />

tobacco control, quality and availability of care, chain of survival and<br />

obesity prevention, as well as heart disease and stroke prevention.<br />

Now, more than ever, the American Heart Association has a sense of<br />

urgency to move the mission forward. Please join us as we make medical<br />

history, increasing the pace of science focused on our mission…only then<br />

can we hope to understand and prevent cardiovascular diseases and<br />

stroke.<br />

The funds we raise through Open Your Heart this evening go directly to<br />

fund research, e<strong>du</strong>cation, awareness and prevention initiatives <strong>with</strong> the<br />

direct goal of treating, and preventing cardiovascular diseases and stroke.<br />

We are not only helping those who currently suffer–but funding research<br />

that will ensure a healthier future for our next generations.<br />

Thank you to the companies and indivi<strong>du</strong>als who have already given to<br />

Open Your Heart to help us get a head start. We hope to have 100%<br />

participation in the room the night of Côtes <strong>du</strong> <strong>Coeur</strong>.<br />

Here’s how Open Your Heart works:<br />

• Auctioneers Wendy & Doak Lambert will call out funding levels at<br />

$50,000; $25,000; $15,000; $10,000; $5,000; $2,500, $1,000 and $500.<br />

• Simply raise your bid card high when you hear the amount at which<br />

you wish to make a purely philanthropic, tax-de<strong>du</strong>ctible contribution<br />

to the American Heart Association’s vital mission.<br />

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!<br />
