Giving Hearts

Major gift revealed at fashionable fundraiser.

BY ROBIN SCHWARTZ I PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANGIE BAAN

A day of relaxation and luxury at
Saks Fifth Avenue in Troy could
ultimately help save lives. About 150
people gathered at the store Nov. 12
for Heart to Heart de Mode, a ladies
luncheon and charity day of shop-
ping to raise money for the Ministrelli
Women's Heart Center at Beaumont,
Royal Oak. "Participants received a
special discount coupon," said Tom
McGannon, director of special events
at the Beaumont Foundation. "Five
percent of proceeds from anything
purchased with the coupon will go

to the heart center." A special gift
also was presented at the event in the
form of a significant endowment from
Cis Maisel Kellman of Southfield.
The funds will help support research
and the prevention and treatment
of women's heart disease. "Heart
disease claims the lives of more
women than all cancers combined,"
said McGannon. "The Ministrelli
Women's Heart Center was created
to address women's unique symptoms.
Early detection and diagnosis are the
keys."
