Our Goal, Vision & Commitment

This earth was blessed with Eden Elizabeth for just 28 days until she was called to Heaven, but in that too brief time she made such an impact on the world. The grace and strength of Eden and her family has created a legacy that continues to inspire others. Eden's Army still believes in miracles and vows to help miracles happen for others in need.

Two Signature Events. One Mission: 

 

Courage 5K – A family-friendly run inspired by Heart Center patients and the Beads of Courage program. Walk or run a route lined with inspiring stories of courage.

Hops for Hearts – An adults-only night of drinks, live music, great food, and a silent auction—all to support children with heart conditions.

Courage 5k

Volunteer, Participate, or Donate

We are lucky to have groups in our community choose Eden’s Army for fundraisers. We have benefited from hat days, workout sessions, memorials in honor of a loved one, and simple neighborhood lemonade stands. In addition, we have wonderful people who volunteer at our events as well as those who monetarily donate.
