The Lord Remembers....and so do we

Zacharias was a priest, and the father of John the Baptist, the forerunner of the long-expected Messiah, Jesus Christ. When it was announced to him that his son would hold this great honor, he refused to believe the message, and for his disbelief was punished by not being able to speak until his son was born. His son was born and Zacharias was able to speak in which he praised God.

Zacharias means, “the Lord remembers”, and at Living for Zachary, we acknowledge the importance and need of raising awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). We want to encourage others to not be in disbelief of the seriousness of SCA and to break from the silence and encourage others to do the same.

Living for Zachary has been so fortunate and we are so appreciative to have a “Zacharias” cross, donated by owner Christopher J. Oropeza of UniquelyXpressed, to the Living for Zachary HeartBeats Gala Silent Auction. Thank you for this very special to the Living for Zachary Foundation.

Thank you to UniquelyXpressed for the special gift and their efforts in increasing awareness of SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) in our youth. Please remember the name of Zacharias: “the Lord remembers” in all of our misery and despair, God has remembered.

Please join Living for Zachary for the HeartBeats Gala on February 19th, 2011 at the Marriott Legacy, 7120 Dallas Parkway in Plano, Texas. This wonderful event for Living for Zachary will be from 7:00PM - Midnight and tickets can be purchased on the Living for Zachary HeartBeats Gala page. If you have an item that you would like to donate to the Silent Auction - please download the Auction Donation Form and fax to Living for Zachary.

"There’s nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer”

A volunteer himself, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle once said: “There’s nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.” Lt. Col. Doolittle personally led a squadron of Army bombers in a raid on the Japanese mainland, manned completely by volunteer crews. Historians perceive Doolittle not only as a war hero, but also as a major morale leader for soldiers in the United States because of his heart for volunteering and taking up causes for the betterment of others. Sound's familiar huh?

At Living for Zachary, we’ve been very fortunate to have some incredible volunteers contribute their individual skills and abilities to the honorable cause of raising awareness of and helping with the prevention of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in our youth.

As you know Living for Zachary holds various events throughout the year to help raise funds to benefit the awareness of Sudden Cardiac Awareness, if it were not for the Volunteers who give their countless hours of time and effort and our financial supporters and sponsors, we just could not have done it and Living for Zachary wouldn't have been what it is today.

If you are interested in Volunteering at one of our L4Z events, please visit our website or contact Living for Zachary's Volunteer Coordinator: Kim Granger kim@living4zachary.org. If you are interested in giving in another way; click here to be taken to the Sponsor Page, or Click here to donate to L4Z. Whatever way you can help, please do.

As all of our lives get so hectic, we forget to thank those that have been true and loyal, so thank all of you for your support in helping us make this possible, through awareness, financial support and prayers. You have the heart of gold and nothing better than the heart of a Volunteer. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle would be proud to see such a wonderful group. Keep praying and keep volunteering because we KNOW we are making a difference.

Let's make our heart's strong and volunteer today.
