Description: A Team of Camaros, owned by Thomas Grenier, Joanne Giordano, and Francisco Mercado, were on display during the 2013 International Car Show at the Javits Center in NYC. The car named VSV-1 was displayed to raise awareness for 9-1-1 Veterans, Sgt Bill Mckenna Foundation, Ski’s Open Heart Foundation, and the PTSD. VSV-2 was displayed in an effort to raise awareness for our veterans, police, firefighters, emergency responders, and civilians who responded to 9-11. The mission of this “Rolling Tribute” is to get the word out so that the general public can see that our soldiers and first responders still need our help.

With the help of companies like NBTY Helping Hands and the collaboration of organizations like, Ski’s Open Heart Foundation, 9-1-1 Veterans, the Sgt Bill McKenna Foundation, the Rolling Tribute, and the many other volunteers and organizations we have come to know and work with, the missions of these great organizations will hopefully reach many more people and continue to help change the lives of a lot of people over the next few years.

Ski’s Open Heart Foundation would like to give a big thank you to Chris Delaney, Thomas Grenier, NBTY, Joanne Giordano, Fancisco Mercado, Dina McKenna and everyone else who has helped and continue to help us spread awareness to our Foundation. I’ts people like you, that make this world a better place. Thank you!

Description: Ski’s Open Heart Foundation would like to thank everyone who came down to Blue Restaurant and Lounge to support us and our mission last night. It was a great event and means the world to us that we are able to continue to help the 9/11 First Responders. With donations from our loyal supporters, we will be able to help many more responders who are in need. Even though the foundation’s inspiration couldn’t be there in person, he sent down a message from Heaven, with the rainbow in the sky!

Again thank you to everyone who came down and supported us

Description: The month of January has been a horrible month for the 9/11 Community. The month isn’t even over and the community has lost 9 true American hero’s from 9/11 related cancers. Nine deaths that could have been prevented; nine deaths that should have never happened; nine amazing individuals that have been taken from their families and friends to soon. It is sad how fast this country has forgotten about some of the most courageous people. RIP; you are now another one of our angels.

That being said volunteers of Ski’s Open Heart Foundation will be running in the Spartan Race at Citi Field on April 13, 2013, and have decided to raise money for these families that were left behind. Our goal is $5,000.00 so that we can split that among the nine first responders that didn’t hesitate to risk their lives in 2001. If you haven’t forgotten about these and the many others who are still fighting, will fight, or fought and lost their battle, then open up your heart and help us reach our goal.
