ABOUT SAVE-A-HEART FOUNDATION

Mission / Purpose

Save-A-Heart Foundation, Inc., is a non profit, tax-exempt (501c3), volunteer organization, whose purpose is to raise money for life-saving cardiac medical equipment. The organization has been in existence for over 30 years, during which time it has raised over 8 million dollars. The monies have been used to purchase cardiac medical equipment for hospitals, schools, police departments, volunteer fire companies, and volunteer ambulance rescue companies. Donations have also been used to establish cardiac care units in hospitals. All contributions are tax deductible. 

Background of our Organization

Founded in 1971, by Bernard Sapperstein and a host of other Baltimoreans, our membership has dedicated itself to saving heart attack victims. Each founder experienced cardiac catheterization and open heart surgery, either personally, or through the fear and anxieties of a loved one suffering from heart disease.
