The funds will be donated to the hospital for uncompensated care, meaning families will be able to obtain quality healthcare for their children without worrying about paying for the services.

Marques Mar talked about spending
his childhood in the hospital

Guest speaker Marques Mar spoke about his experiences at the hospital as a heart patient from the age of 4 days old. He was born with a severe heart defect and has had 3 open heart surgeries, 3 pacemakers and will have more procedures in the future. He is now 14 years old and starting 9th grade at Issaquah High School.
