A new year is a perfect time for new beginnings. We are excited to announce the following changes we are implementing by the dawn of 2023.
New Name – We are now BREATHING NEW LIFE, effective January 1st, 2023! Our former name, Hope Chest News (HCN), has served us well for over 19 years; however, we believe Breathing New Life will resonate better with the MHealth Fairview lung transplant patients and families we support. Our new name inherently bears a relevance that we hope will increase name recognition as we continue to create awareness of our purpose.
New Logo and Tagline – We are proud to unveil our new logo, created to enhance and align with our new name, Breathing New Life. We have included the tagline, “Supporting MHealth Fairview Lung Transplant Patients & Families,” to provide a glimpse into our mission. You will see our fresh look in quarterly newsletters, e-mail communications and stationery, as well as on our new website and social media.
New Website – Our much-anticipated, redesigned website launched January 1, 2023, as well! Through our new website, you will be able to donate to Breathing New Life and sign up for the Breathing New Life newsletters and e-mail communications. You will also be able to see information about upcoming fundraising events and learn more details about our organization, just to name a few of the resources available.
New Facebook Page – We now have a Facebook page for Facebook fans! This new page will provide another resource to view information on our upcoming events. You can find our new FB page at Breathing New Life. Please “follow” us!
New E-mail Address – info@breathingnewlife.org
New Mailing Address – 6417 Penn Ave S, Ste 8 – 1210, Minneapolis, MN 55423-1196.
New Mentorship Opportunity – Breathing New Life is pleased to endorse the Joseph J. Carter Mentorship Program, offered by the Lung Transplant Foundation (LTF). We encourage you to visit their website at LTF Mentorship Program to learn more about requesting a mentor or becoming a mentor, if interested.
Be assured, we are still the same 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 2003 and continue to be comprised entirely of volunteers who are patients or are friends or family of patients who have had, or are waiting for, lung transplants at the M Health Fairview UMMC. We look forward to embarking on this new phase of our journey with you. Thank you for continuing to support us, as this enables us to support more lung-transplant patients and their families.
With gratitude,
Breathing New Life* Board of Directors
