Save a Heart ‘Roar Into the 20s’ event to raise money for congenital heart research, families at Mott

The C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital Congenital Heart Center will roar into 2020 to raise money for congenital heart research and families of children with life-threatening heart conditions.

The annual Save A Heart event will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8 at Marriott Eagle Crest Resort, located at 1275 S Huron St. in Ypsilanti. 

Funds raised will help advance education and research opportunities in the field and also provide much-needed financial relief and support to patients and families who are facing life-threatening congenital heart conditions. 

The event includes a strolling food tasting from some of the best-known local restaurants, as well as a large selection of wines and microbrews from around the world. This year’s presenting sponsors include Conor O’Neill’s Traditional Irish Pub, Running Fit and Plum Market.  

Tickets are $75 in advance and $90 at the door. They may be purchased in advance at www.umsaveaheart.org. Sponsorships are also available.
