"Have-A-Heart" Will Raise Funds for Children's HeartLink
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Spectrum Essentials(R), a leading line of Omega-3 nutritional
supplements for the support of heart health, has announced the launch of
the "Have-A-Heart" campaign. The initiative will raise critical funding
and awareness for Children's HeartLink, an international medical
nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of
congenital heart disease in children living in developing countries
around the world.
During the three-month-long campaign, consumers will save $3.00
instantly on every purchase of two or more Spectrum Essentials Omega-3
heart-healthy supplements. Each purchase will aid in funding Spectrum
Essentials' support of Children’s HeartLink. The "Have-A-Heart" campaign
will kick off on February 1 and run through April 30, 2009.
Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect, affecting one
in every 100 children worldwide. Without treatment, one third of these
children will not reach their first birthday. Tragically, 90 percent of
children born in developing countries do not have access to the
healthcare they need. Children's HeartLink works to enhance existing
pediatric cardiac programs in these countries, providing medical
training, technical assistance, funding, equipment and supplies.
"The Have-A-Heart campaign allows us to help hearts in more ways than
one," said Donna Iannucci, Senior Director of Marketing, Spectrum
Organics. "We're incredibly proud to partner with an organization that
is making such a profound difference in the heart health and wellbeing
of children everywhere. Children’s HeartLink believes in healthy hearts,
and is focused on helping people to achieve a healthier way of life,
just as we are at Spectrum."
The Spectrum brand offers a number of products including Fish Oil, Flax
Oil, Whole and Ground Flaxseed, and Children’s and Adult DHA supplements
that add heart-healthy Omega-3s to the diet. Spectrum Essentials
products are available in natural food stores, supermarkets and
specialty foods retailers nationwide.
"More children with congenital heart disease in developing countries
will receive life-saving treatments thanks to Spectrum Essentials'
incredible support of Children's HeartLink," said Elizabeth Bickel,
President, Children’s HeartLink. "Their gift will help provide the
resources necessary to conduct medical missions and maintain pediatric
cardiac programs at our partner hospitals. I'm extremely thankful for
this new partnership. Together, we will promote healthy hearts, at home
and around the world."
