A Worthwhile Cause

CLICK HERE to read up on and donate to a very worthwhile cause which hits close to home for us!

"The Children’s Heart Foundation is the only organization that was created to exclusively fund congenital heart defect research.
- Congenital heart defects are common and deadly, yet CHD research is grossly under-funded relative to the prevalence of the disease.- Only one penny of every dollar donated to the American Heart Association goes towards congenital heart defect research.- Of every dollar the government spends on medical funding only a fraction of a penny is directed toward congenital heart defect research.- The NHLBI has stated that Congenital Heart Defects are a serious and underappreciated global health problem.- In the last decade death rates for congenital heart defects have declined by almost 30% due to advances made through research.
As the country's leading organization solely committed to CHD research funding, CHF dedicates itself to bringing health, hope and happiness to children and families impacted by a CHD.
