In celebration of Eliana’s birthday each year, we commit to assembling Care Bags that will then be delivered to CHOP’s Cardiac Unit to be handed out to patient’s parents/guardians. Items in those bags are donated by individuals, local stores, or purchased from funds raised by The Ellie Effect.

At least twice a year, we partner with the American Red Cross to hold community blood drives to collect life-saving blood donations for our local area.

We promote awareness and raise funds for congenital heart defects by having a team participate in The Children’s Heart Foundation’s annual Philadelphia Congenital Heart Walk. All funds go directly to The Children’s Heart Foundation who are dedicated to funding the most promising congenital heart defect (CHD) research.

In support of RMHC Philly, we solicit funds to go towards families benefitting from RMHC Philly services such as housing at their Chestnut Street facility. The primary way this is accomplished is by promoting the collection of tabs for a yearly drop off.
