Just last month, NOH & OMG employees organized a fundraiser at the Vermilion Quaker Steak & Lube to benefit the 2013 Lorain County Heart Walk. North Ohio Heart Site Supervisor Tabitha Cote organized the December 23 fundraiser, which included a cash raffle, pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus, face painting and basket raffles. Quaker Steak & Lube also donated 10 percent of the day's food sales to the Lorain County Heart Walk.
The fundraiser generated $1,715, bringing NOH & OMG's total raised for the upcoming event to nearly $5,400.
