Singing to the Hart
One of the best ways to give back is from the heart. On Valentines Day, Live was invited to sing at Arnold Palmer Hospital annual Cardiac Heart Party for children who had under gone heart surgery in 2012. Over 200 beautiful families attended this private event held at the hospital in Downtown Orlando. The image to the left is a photo of the Disney themed hall the event was held in.
Throughout the event, families were greeted with warm smiles. They also participated in various activities such as face painting, games and enjoyed lots of yummy refreshments. Thank you Arnold Palmer Hospital for the opportunity to spread love.
