March 24. The Davidson Rotary Club, Rotary Club of North Mecklenburg County and Lake Norman – Huntersville Rotary Club have joined forces again to help children around the world access life changing heart surgeries.

Last year the clubs raised enough to save the lives of 40 children.

This year a dinner and a silent auction fundraiser will be 6-9 pm April 21 at NorthStone Country Club, Huntersville. Tickets are $100 per person.

Gift of Life International (GOLI), a non-profit organization, creates sustainable pediatric cardiac programs and regional health centers in under-served locations around the world.

Last year the funds raised at our Rotary GOLI Dinner funded four Pediatric Cardiac Team training missions to Jamaica, where 40 needed pediatric surgeries were performed and local medical teams were trained for similar procedures.

The funds from this event will be used to send a team of pediatric cardiologists to Jamaica to train other surgeons and cover the cost of travel, lodging and all necessary materials to perform life-changing surgical procedures.
