The Big Bang Theory‘s Mayim Bialik attended the ‘Save a Child’s Heart (SACH)‘ gala on Nov 15, 2015 held at the Sony Pictures Studio Commissary. Judy and David Shore co-chaired the event which honored Rabbi Spike & Marita Anderson, Mare Smooke, Susan Adler, George & Pam Douglas, and Pegah Natzani.
Save A Child’s Heart organization is an Israeli-based International, non-profit organization located at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel. Save A Child’s Heart provides life-saving cardiac surgery to children from developing countries. To date, we have saved the lives of over 3,600 children from Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, and throughout the Middle East.
By mending hearts, regardless of race, religion, gender, nationality, or financial status, we contribute to a more peaceful and productive world; a happier, healthier world, and a better world for all children and their families.
SACH saves children with congenital heart defects who have almost no chance of surviving to adulthood in their native countries, and saves their lives with no political, cultural, religious, or racial preference whatsoever. Based in Israel, our mission is to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from countries where the heart surgery they need is unobtainable.
Save A Child’s Heart also works to multiply the effectiveness of its resources outside of Israel by training medical personnel from developing countries. The ultimate goal of SACH is actually to create “Centers of Competence” around the world, which will enable local medical personnel to provide these life saving services on their own. This is a full outreach training program that brings doctors and nurses to the SACH center for in-depth, post graduate training; it also sends staff overseas to provide this education to local medical professionals, as well as to perform surgeries side-by-side with them.
Proceeds from the fundraising event help sponsor many things including a 12-month training program for a physician in Israel, cardiology diagnostic missions abroad, room, board and recuperation costs for children in Israel, cost coverage for mothers and their children in Israel and much more.
Bialik, an advocate for children, Israel and good mental and physical health, brings attention to this organization who does wonderful work on behalf of children around the globe.
