Event Announcements
What an incredible day we had at the Long Island Congenital Heart Walk! Thank you so much for showing up, walking with heart, and standing strong for children and families affected by congenital heart defects.
Your support—whether through fundraising, walking, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines—made a real impact. Every step taken and every dollar raised moves us closer to a future where all children with CHDs have the chance to thrive.
We're still working toward our goal of $150,000, and there’s time left! Fundraising stays open until June 2nd, so if you'd like to make one more ask or share your page again, there’s still a chance to boost your total and earn awesome recognition items!
WHY WE WALK
Join us for a meaningful one-mile walk where heart families, supporters, and survivors unite for change. This family-friendly event brings our community together, honoring Heart Warriors we've lost and celebrating those still fighting. We walk side by side - heart families, bereaved families, and supporters - showing that no one faces CHDs alone.
Your fundraising fuels vital research for congenital heart defects - the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in 110 babies. Through The Children's Heart Foundation's research grants, we fund innovative treatments and surgical advances that help children with CHD live longer, healthier lives.
