OHSU Foundation

Hello, we are Heart Lumineers! Heart Lumineers is a student-led organization from Sprague High School formed to help the community at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital! Heart Lumineer’s goal is to unite the Salem-Keizer community through charity events to assist their cause and spread awareness of heart disease while raising funds. We want to spread knowledge, awareness while simultaneously helping this community which gives us groundbreaking research and saves the lives of countless children.

The OHSU Foundation has faced immense budget cuts — approximately $25 million dollars have been cut— which severely impacts their hospital and services provided. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children, staff, and families at Oregon Health & Science University and OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital by providing them with a little bit of extra help. Your contributions will help ensure that vital healthcare resources are available for children when they are needed most.

The OHSU Foundation is dedicated to securing philanthropic support and responsibly managing gifts in line with donors’ wishes. Here are just a couple of ways your donations will make an impact:

We recently lost our close friend, Ryan Tabor, to alcoholism and his life was cut far too short because of it. For those of you who didn't know Ryan, he was one of the most kind souls out there who always prioritized others before himself. Ryan loved the outdoors and was always running around somewhere, typically with his dog, Kashi.

To honor Ryan's life and bring awareness to the disease that is Alcoholism, we've decided to run a 5K every day for the 45 days leading up to Ryan's 30th birthday with a goal of raising 5K to donate to the Portland Alcohol Research Center. Every person who joins us in these efforts means the world to us and the Tabor family in honoring his life and the continued research and understanding behind this disease.

I would like to become a medical professional someday, and I want to do all I can to ensure local hospitals have proper funding to care for their patients. Doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel are everyday heroes, and I want to help them achieve success and help as many people as possible.
