Brian Littrell Healthy Heart Club For Kids

Alpharetta, Georgia

Cause Description:
World-famous performer Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys was treated at Saint Joseph Hospital as a child, and in gratitude as well as his genuine concern for children, Brian created the Fund and the Club for kids. In 1998, money personally donated by Brian Littrell and gifts from Brian's fans from around the world started the Fund. When Brian had his much-publicized open heart surgery in May, 1998, he made a point of telling his fans that if they wished to send him a gift, to please make it a gift to his fund. That way, it would help other kids with heart disease and other health problems. The response was overwhelming. We received tons of mail, much of it with small, sacrificial gifts from kids around the world. In 1999, the work of the Brian Littrell Fund Oversight Committee has begun to pay off. The Committee is designing an innovative program of education, rehabilitation, exercise and motivation for children ages 6-16 with congenital heart problems, as well as those who are at risk to develop heart problems.
