Hello everyone! As we step into 2026, Isabel’s Impact is excited to continue supporting transplant families—made possible by the incredible generosity and encouragement from all of you. We’re thrilled to share that the date for our second Teeing Off For Transplant tournament is officially set for August 3rd. Planning is well underway and we will be sure to notify you when sign-ups go live
We’re also working behind the scenes on several exciting projects this year to expand our reach and impact. More details to come—we can’t wait to share what’s ahead 🙂
We’ve been honored to make six additional donations to families. Five of these are repeat donations to established families:
- Leilani Morales (2 y/o) from California (https://cota.org/cotaforlanibaby/)
- Debron Martin (17 y/o) from Florida (https://cota.org/cotaforteamdebron/)
- Sofia Volz (3 y/o) from North Carolina (https://cota.org/cotaforsofiasheartjourney/ )
- Azra Dixon (3 y/o) from Ohio (https://cota.org/cotaforazrasheart/ )
- Ariana Frazier (8 y/o) from Florida (https://cota.org/cotaforarianasfight/ )
We have one new family highlighted below, which brings our total families helped to 45 and total donations to 51!
Arthur Chiang (10 y/o): Arthur lives with his mom and brother in Northbrook, Illinois. He received a life-saving heart transplant just days before his second birthday in 2017. Arthur is doing well post-transplant and COTA continues to assist his family with transplant-related expenses years after his life-saving transplant. This volunteer team was very successful, however the families expenses have been significant over the past eight years. You can learn more about Arthur here.
We look forward to an exciting and philanthropic 2026!
