Giving Tuesday is a day when people around the world unite in generosity. For families affected by congenital heart disease (CHD), it’s a day filled with hope. CHD remains the most common birth defect, impacting 1 in 100 children. Every step toward new treatments and cures matters. Every breakthrough is life-changing.
This year, HeartWorks is honored to share an extraordinary opportunity made possible by a family who believes deeply in building a better future for children born with CHD.
A $50,000 Giving Tuesday Match From the Porter Family
Thanks to the remarkable generosity of Tom and Bev Porter, every donation made to HeartWorks on the week surrounding Giving Tuesday (Nov 30 – Dec 2) will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000. That means your $50 becomes $100. Your $250 becomes $500.
Your impact and your hope doubles.
Who Are Tom & Bev Porter? Cherished Partners, Extraordinary Believers in Hope
Our research, innovation, and progress have been accelerated thanks to the steadfast support of Tom and Bev Porter. As cherished partners for many years, they have contributed immensely through their donations, proceeds from HeartWorks wine, and their unwavering guidance. Their leadership continues to make a profound and lasting impact on our mission.
But their generosity extends far beyond HeartWorks.
In 2003, Tom and Bev founded the Porter Family Foundation, a philanthropic commitment to supporting organizations that champion education, the health and well-being of children, academic and medical research, and the humane treatment of animals. Their belief in the power of giving back is at the heart of everything they do.
The Porters also pour their passion into Porter Family Vineyards, located in the picturesque southeastern hills of Napa, overlooking the quiet hamlet of Coombsville. This region – blessed with generous sunshine and cooled by bay breezes – produces expressive, elegant wines. Among them is the special HeartWorks Wine, created with love and purpose.
100% of proceeds from HeartWorks wine directly support CHD research and the work of HeartWorks.
You can explore their wines at: www.porterfamilyvineyards.com
The Porters’ generosity, vision, and belief in our mission are why this Giving Tuesday match is possible and why so many breakthroughs have already come to life.
