The Lester R. Sauvage Healing Heart Guild was formed in 2000 by two sisters whose lives were deeply touched by their brother's battle with heart disease. The group is made up of more than 20 energetic women in their 30s and 40s who have an interest in philanthropy. Their purpose is to support the vision of The Hope Heart Institute. Each year the Guild holds a fundraiser around Valentine's Day to support The Hope's programs.

The 2009 Sauvage Healing Heart Guild Auction raised nearly $80,000 for The Hope Heart Institute. It was another beautifully crafted event, produced by the generous energy and talent of our Guild members. Thank you to our donors and guests. We hope to see you again in 2010!
