Noah Marzelli Heart Award

Baby Noah swaddled in a brown basket asleep with his hand sticking out.Join the Marzelli family in celebrating the life, impact, and legacy of Noah Marzelli, born July 30, 2024. Your gift encourages tomorrow's pediatric Heartcare Heroes with the Noah Marzelli Heart Award Fund through the Harper College Educational Foundation.

Enterovirus attacked Noah's otherwise healthy heart one week after birth and resulted in a needed heart transplant. This endowed scholarship also honors the dozens of amazing, caring, and talented healthcare professionals who tirelessly battled alongside Noah during 38 days of heart failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and 7 surgeries, 5 of which were open-heart. Intensified complications ended his earthly journey on September 12, 2024. 

Noah watches from above, spreading love, courage, and hope for other Heart Warriors, their families, and care providers. He lives on through Wings of Noah (wingsofnoah.org) and the Noah Marzelli Heart Award.
