Supporting Kids Heart Health for 25 Years!

At Silver Oak we believe an important part of educating the whole child is helping students to learn about their community and how they can help others. Giving promotes happiness and purpose, while teaching the givers that they are a vital part of something bigger. In 2025, Silver Oak has been supporting the American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge for 25 years and raising over $140,000 to help fund community initiatives, education, research and quality of care – all to fight the No. 1 killer in the world, heart disease.
