April 25, 2015 – It was chilly, early Saturday morning as HEART (Higher Education And Rising Together) rose to the challenge and volunteered to walk for babies… After raising $1000, HEART also contributed throughout the day. Setting up tents, moving tables, carrying water and any other opportunities where we could lend a helping hand. As HEART Member Dallas Edge stated “Volunteering benefits the community as it shows you support it and its people”.

imageWhen you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to nearly half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babiesimage

One cool moment was after helping Jack in the Box set up their tent Jack in the Box CEO Leonard Comma stopped by to take a photo op with us. I’m always amazed and inspired when the young  men from HEART show up for volunteer service… After all how often do you see high school teens show up for volunteer work at 6 AM!!!

“All we have is each other and we have to constantly give back to our community, whether it’s money,time, or expertise.  It’s the only way we will get better.” says HEART member Bernard Richardson…Of course after a hard days work we had lunch at Lefty’s Chicago Style Pizza because growing men have to eat.. What a Great Day!
