Details of the Event…

Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know, our son Wyatt was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, essentially half a heart, and underwent numerous hospitalizations, procedures, and surgeries before joining Christ at six months old. The time that we were able to spend with him has impacted our lives tremendously and it is our hope to allow his spirit to live on by giving to others in his honor. The ScrapPacks Ministry presents heart families with a package of materials where they can construct a display for their child. Over 350 ScrapPacks have been delivered to Nationwide Children’s Hospital to date. The next project we have begun in honor of Wyatt is the construction of a local playground. A Night for Hearts is the first of many fundraisers to raise money to begin the project.

A Night for Hearts is a silent auction and dinner benefit.

Dinner Menu:
Rolls & Butter
Longaberger House Salad with House Dressing
Duet of Pork & Chicken
Chef’s Choice of Starch and Vegetable
Cheesecake for Dessert
Water, Coffee, Ice Tea

Silent auction:
A variety of gift baskets and items will be featured in a silent auction. So far we are featuring: tools, rounds of golf from Longaberger, a signed football from Archie Griffin, a tea basket, a car wash basket, handmade notecards, gift certificates, garden items, a scrapbook basket, a Lake Erie fishing trip, a week long stay in northern Michigan, and the items go on. Cash and check payments will be accepted. Donations are welcome.

Payment: Needs to be received by February 8th. The cost is $40 per person. Checks can be made out to Wyatt Adkins Heart Organization to RSVP for the dinner.
