1. CBD COLLEGE PARTNERS WITH BEATING HEARTS FOUNDATION
CBD College is proud to partner with Beating Hearts Foundation!
At the tender age of 10 many kids are engulfed in school, sports and various extracurricular activities.
Eileen Garrido, founder of the Beating Hearts Foundation, was busy laying the groundwork of her legacy.
Diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a potentially life threatening condition shortly after birth, Eileen
learned all too quickly how delicately life can hang in the balance. At the age of 5 weeks, Eileen
underwent her first heart surgery to extend her life. At the age of 13 months, Eileen underwent her second
heart surgery for additional repairs to her heart. Most recently on June 10, 2014, Eileen underwent her
third heart surgery to complete earlier surgeries and improve her quality of life.
Eileen chose not only to fight her
disease with a passion, but also help
those battling right beside her. Her
foundation works to raise funds for
her primary benefactor Children’s
Hospital Los Angeles, a leading
research facility in the area of
pediatric cardiac disease. In addition,
a portion of the funds raised go
directly to families who would not
be able to pay for services due to a
lack of insurance or a lack of
covered benefits. To this day, the
Beating Hearts Foundation has
raised millions of dollars for CHLA
and has garnered support from
various celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Jane Seymour, Marie Osmond and George Lopez to name a
few.
CBD College was proud to host Eileen Garrido as a Guest Speaker on campus on March 24th. She served
and continues to serve as an inspiration to our amazing students to not only further their education but
give back to their community.
Our students, faculty and staff have been showing their support through various fundraising events held
on campus between 3/28 and 4/8, with all proceeds benefiting the Beating Hearts Foundation. Here are
some pictures from the fundraisers!
So far CBD College has helped raise over $2,000 in just 2 weeks! Visit us at www.CBD.edu.
