  TendHER Heart Luncheon  The TendHER Heart Luncheon is hosted each year to honor mothers of chronically and critically ill children for the sacrifices they make in caring for their ill child.  The brunch provides these women with the opportunity to "take a minute" for themselves and enjoy each other's company and support.  The mothers are served gourmet breakfast and lunch dishes and are sent home with a few special treats to enjoy.
  Field of Dreams  The Field of Dreams program was established to present critically and chronically ill children and their families with magical memories by fulfilling sports wishes and vacation dreams. The foundation foots the bill for a day of fun activities, tickets and food at a nice getaway like Kalahari or Mall of America.
