One Heart Foundation

How does ONE strengthen his or her family?
What are the needs and where does ONE start?
There’s no easy answer, but there are many approaches to take. Families today face pressures that were unknown even ten years ago. One Heart seeks to strengthen families in the face of these pressures and is making a difference for families today. You can help by looking in the mirror and asking yourself, "Am I working my hardest at being a good member of the family?", "Am I being true and faithful to them?", "Volunteering my time and talents to help others?", "Signing up for thefamily.com ISP to get FREE family content, ideas, and helps?"

1. One Heart strengthens families of the hearing impaired. With our web site: http://www.deaf.net we reach out to those families in the "deaf world" and provide a "voice" of help in many ways. In 2002, with the generosity of The Starkey Hearing Foundation, together we gifted 100 pair of digital hearing aids FREE to families with deaf children in Utah. (this was approximately $3,000 a pair or $300,000) These were the finest hearing instruments available and we fitted both ears.

2. One Heart publishes FREE advice from qualified experts and information for families who are affected by chronic illnesses or financial challenges on how to keep the family together and their marriages intact. We publish books, articles, music, and resource publications addressing issues facing families today. Our marketing and fundraising site, thefamily.com, provides family safe access to the internet and publishes many articles and information to help families! Also, our internet site at http://www.oneheart.org provides valuable, free information on many family-related topics. On our websites, we give everyone the opportunity to share their voices regarding issues that are important to families. By using all media tools with visual and audio capabilities, we emphasized principles that will strengthen the basic unit of society . . . the family.

3. One Heart produces live events that help bring families together.

	- The 1997 “Branson Blast” was created to celebrate the family. Tickets were free for those who attended as a family, entertainers all shared positive family moments, other family charities were guests that gave advice to the crowds of 20,000+ and everyone enjoyed entertainment, fireworks, and presentations.
	- "The Hope of America" and "Kids for Vets" we had children honor their Veteran fathers and grandfathers, and Bob Hope dedicated a special monument that recognized the veterans and the Hope of America--their children.
	- One Heart has often been invited to help produce The World Congress of Families where family issues and values were discussed and supported.
	- Alan Osmond donates his time towards producing family valued events with "more than entertainment" to give families valued things to do, and spend quality time together. An annual event for state fairs called "Family Blast" was developed to keep families doing things together. Alan started producing live stadium events 25 years ago and is being honored this July 2nd, 2005 in celebrating 25 years of his creation of "Stadium of Fire" for "family entertainment" in Provo, Utah. The newspaper reviews said the entertainers, "...brought a sense of clean-cut decency to the celebration, proving that entertainers need not sacrifice high standards for popularity."

4. Warming Families is a Charity craft effort of One Heart in which volunteers make blankets, gloves, caps, scarves, sweaters, etc. and deliver them to needy and homeless families at no cost.

5. The Family Award is a recognition program that recognizes and awards family friendly web sites, successful families and organizations, outstanding individuals, corporate commitments and contributions of those trying to "give back" to society by strengthening families.

6. We also produce valued television programming and community service spots, sharing content, activities, and helpful tips for families everywhere and for children with "thEfamily" animated characters.

7. One Heart's NEW I.S.P. (Internet Service Provider) TheFamiy.com, helps families get safely connected to the internet and provides great filtering for safe family valued content. Profits from this go back to One Heart as a fundraising effort.

You can give support and get an email address at yourname@osmond.com OR yourname@thefamily.com !

8. A very important effort in "Strengthening Families" is for the youth in the scouting programs with the help of ScoutMedia.org. The scouting program supports a belief in God, Family, Heritage and Timeless values as indicated in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. This is a wonderful blueprint for the youth of the world.
