Heartoberfest to Raise Big Hope for Tiny Hearts

• Texas Country Singers Gary Kyle and Jeff Allen in Concert
• Exciting Silent Auction Items
• Fireworks, Eurobungee, Rock Climbing, Face Painting, Bounce Houses and Carnival Games

Dallas, Texas – September 23, 2009 — The fifth annual charity event, Heartoberfest, will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., on Saturday, October 10, 2009, at the famous Southfork Ranch in Parker, Texas. The event, including a concert by Texas country music singers Gary Kyle and Jeff Allen; large silent auction, and outdoor activities for the children, benefits the Chloe Duyck Memorial Fund for congenital heart disease research.

Organizers hope the Heartoberfest event and fundraiser will continue to raise the much needed funding and awareness for congenital heart disease (CHD) research. To date, the Chloe Duyck Memorial Fund has raised much needed funding and helped support groundbreaking research on the subject of blood products required for children undergoing open-heart operations.

Concert:

Gary Kyle, with the single “Late Night Run Around,” will kick off the the musical performances at 6:00 pm. Jeff Allen, with the Texas Music Chart hit “Raised on Getting’ By” (#8 on the charts and still climbing) will take the stage around 7:30pm to wrap up the evening’s musical performances.

According to the American Heart Association, one million Americans have a congenital heart defect. Recent research reports one out of every 85 babies are born with heart defects each year in the U.S. And, nearly twice as many children die from congenital heart disease in the U.S. each year as die from all forms of childhood cancers combined. Michelle Duyck says, “We had no idea that heart defects were the most common and most fatal of all birth defects until we lost Chloe during open heart surgery. That was our eye-opener and called us to action. We look forward to a day when more children survive these serious heart defects and that’s why we continue to try and raise big hope for these tiny hearts.”

The Chloe Duyck Memorial Fund was established for Chloe by her parents Michelle and Joel Duyck in 2005. Chloe was born on August 30, 2004, and lost her short battle with a congenital heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), on September 3, 2004. Chloe had endured two open-heart surgeries as well as several other procedures to try and save her life, but to no avail. The Chloe Duyck Memorial Fund was established to support research in the field of congenital heart disease. The fund is part of the Cardiopulmonary Research Science and Technology Institute (CRSTI), 501(c)3 not for profit organization. 100% of the event proceeds go to fund congenital heart defect research.
