Ethin's Heart Still Beats


Ethin's Heart Still Beats AKA EHSB is a nonprofit organization that I founded after Ethin passed away.  What started as a dream of keeping Ethin and his legacy alive became a reality July 1, 2010 when we were corporated as nonprofit in the state of MI.

Mission Statement:
To raise awareness of Congenital Heart Defects, provide support to individuals with Congenital Heart Defects and their families, and to raise funds to support research for Congenital Heart Defects.


EHSB is the host to Annual Events in Newaygo County, MI. 
We are proud to sponsor the EHSB Heart Ball in January at the VFW Hall in Newaygo, MI.  The night includes a 4 course meal, a guest speaker, an auction, waltzing, open bar, dancing, and a night promised to be full of fun!
EHSB Board members at the Ball on January 8, 2011 Back Row L-R Deanna Traxler, Jessica Twigg, Cassie Bradley.  Front Row L-R Mandy Daniels, Jen Kurkewiecz, and Carrie Crosley

   Heart familes attend the ball yearly

EHSB along with the cooperation and teamwork with the Newaygo High School and local sponsors annually hosts the Newaygo Lions Have Heart Basketball Game in February at the Newaygo High School in Newaygo, MI.  At the game the Varsity boys basketball team wears special jerseys that honor CHD Warriors and Angels from MI and many other states.
