Event Announcements
THANK YOU, PHOENIX!!
What an incredible day we had at the Phoenix 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. A special shout-out to our incredible committee - volunteers are the heartbeat of CHF and we're so grateful for all you do!!
Fundraising stays open until Monday, December 1st, 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 swag!!
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.
