Utah CHD Awareness License Plate

We have exciting news! After much hard work, the Utah legislature passed a bill allowing for one of the few nation’s first ever CHD specialty license plate. These license plates are now available to pre-order! The name of the specialty license plate is Children’s Heart Disease - so it covers awareness for those with congenital heart defects and childhood onset heart disease.

Before the license plates can be manufactured, IHH needs 500 vehicles pre-paid for the plates. The cost for the plates is a one time $45 fee (because of a gracious donor this $45 fee has already been paid for the rest of the plates needed to get us to the 500 before plates can be printed) and an annual fee of $25/year. Intermountain Healing Hearts is the sponsoring organization for these license plates (meaning that we are covering the costs for manufacturing the plates) and IHH will also receive the yearly $25 annual fee proceeds from the license plates generate. This plate may also be personalized with up to 5 alphanumeric characters by additionally submitting Form TC-817 with the required personalization fee of $50.00.

Anyone with a vehicle registered in Utah (car, trailer, rv etc) can order this license plate. 
So please spread the word to your family and friends.

Please fill out the license plate application (FOUND HERE) 
and email it to chdplate@ihhearts.org. 
It's just as easy as that!

If you want a personalized plate with up to 5 alphanumeric characters, please make sure you submit the Form TC-817 and the personalization fee of $50.00 in the form of a check or money order made out to Intermountain Healing Hearts and return it to:

Intermountain Healing Hearts
P.O. Box 581306
Salt Lake City, UT 84158-1174

 
Do not delay, the sooner we get the 500 applications in, the quicker we can start printing the plates!

For questions, please email chdplate@ihhearts.org.

What an exciting way to display CHD Awareness!

IHH would like to thank Mark Weissinger and Andee Sanders who helped make this project possible.
