Heart Math Tutoring Celebrates Volunteers at Third Annual HeartThrob Event

February 13, 2017

More than 340 people attended the Third Annual HeartThrob event to support Heart Math Tutoring (Heart) – a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students in high-poverty elementary schools develop math skills and academic confidence.

Organized by Heart volunteer tutors, HeartThrob took place on Feb. 10 at Flight Beer & Music Hall to honor the work of Heart’s young professional tutors, who make up almost half of Heart’s volunteer base. Ticket sales from the event benefitted Heart, and sponsors included: Platinum Level – Barings and Global Endowment Management; Gold Level – Eat The Bear, Pamlico Capital and NTT Data; and Event Sponsors – Cushman & Wakefield, Beacon Partners, K&L Gates and 9Round Dilworth.

“Thank you to our event sponsors who covered most of the event costs so that tickets purchased by volunteers and friends could go directly to supporting Heart’s program,” said Emily Elliott, executive director of Heart Math Tutoring. “Volunteer tutors are doing a great job in the schools, helping students build skills and confidence each week. This event is an important chance to celebrate that!”
