The CHD Coalition is very excited to bring our annual CHD Walk for Hope back to Overpeck County Park in New Jersey! For individuals who are unable to attend in person, you can still register and participate virtually. All participants need to register online before registration closes at 12:00 pm noon Saturday, October 12. There will be no onsite registration.<\/p>\n
The primary fundraising goal of the CHD Walk for Hope is to advance CHD-specific research. Progressive research and emerging medical technologies offer an enormous impact on the survival and long-term care of individuals affected by congenital heart defects. Due to the huge success of our annual walk over the past 10+ years, more than $1 Million has been granted to the leading research hospitals throughout the United States.<\/p>\n
For the past several years, over 100% of the CHD Walk for Hope profits have been given to research. No other CHD organization, big or small, can make the same claim. This gives you the reassurance that your donation has a direct impact to the cause. But the CHD Walk for Hope is much more than a fundraiser. It is a celebration between families and friends to honor their CHD Warrior or Angel. The CHD Coalition was formed under the belief that even when you feel hopeless, you never give up hope. You are not alone on your journey with congenital heart defects.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”6833″ background_image_position=”right center” background_image_stacking=”default” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.95″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”ro-reveal-from-right” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-xs-6 vc_hidden-xs” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”120″ bottom_padding=”80″ left_padding_desktop=”5%” constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1595026492237{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}” max_width=”550″]\n
