When someone touches your heart, they’re with you forever. And, when that someone is your child, who is taken from you at a young age, you do everything in your power to keep his memory alive. That is certainly the case for a wonderful, courageous and strong woman named Heather Oliver-Hamilton, who lost her sweet boy Zack last March.
Zack, who was born with a congenital heart defect and a chromosomal deletion, loved Elmo. In his memory, his family has worked tirelessly to create Zack’s Dream Room at York Central Hospital, where their son spent much of his time. Their goal was to raise $25,000… and through the kindness and support of many, they’ve managed to raise over $44,000 to date.
To continue the momentum for this great cause, and to complete renovations on a second room in honour of Zack, there will be a special fundraiser screening of the new movie “Being Elmo” at Boor Street Cinemas, 506 Bloor St W. Toronto on March 18th at 11:00 am.
Tickets are $20 and include a small popcorn, drink, silent auction, kids crafts, face painting, Hasbro Sesame Street Play Area, sponsors swag bag (one per family). Tickets are available online only (no tickets will be available at the door).
If you can attend this wonderful event, you’ll be doing more than just seeing a great movie – you’ll be helping keep the memory of Zack, and his love of Elmo, alive.
