Gift of Life Program
Bolivian Gift of Life child Pablo, his mother Vincente, and the Kikots at Trattoria Fratelli in Ridgewood...   Gift of Life Recipients

Gift of Life is a program begun in 1974 by several American Districts of Rotary International. Since then some 6000 children from more than 36 countries have received cardiovascular life saving operations in the United States. In 1986, District Governor Arthur Scialla and other Rotarians, began the program in Northern N.J. and founded the Rotary International District 7490 Gift of Life Foundation. Currently, over 375 children have been hosted by our District for life saving heart surgery. Read more about the program...
