As a result of innovative medical technologies and improved treatment, individuals with congenital heart defects are living longer and healthier lives. Unfortunately, most causes of CHDs are still unknown, and additional research studies are critically important.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hospital Outreach.<\/strong>\u00a0Over 500 care packages (aka \u201cHeart Totes\u201d) are delivered each year to the 8 children\u2019s surgical hospitals in Northern NJ and NY City. The Heart Tote contains numerous items designed to ease a family\u2019s hospital stay, but most importantly, they deliver the message that the family is not alone and that there is hope.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scholarships.<\/strong> Scholarships are awarded each year to CHD Survivors graduating high school and who are continuing their education. A total of $60,000 has been given to 29 CHD Survivors since the program was started.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community.<\/strong>\u00a0The CHD Coalition hosts several Heart Family social events free for CHD Warrior and immediate family members. These gatherings allow the parents to receive peer-to-peer support in a relaxing environment while their children play and interact with other CHD Survivors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We need your support!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/walk\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6001\" src=\"https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Register-Now-Button.png\" alt=\"Register Now\" width=\"198\" height=\"69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Register-Now-Button.png 344w, https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Register-Now-Button-300x105.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/walk\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6826 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PC-Oct-13-2024-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"CHD Walk for Hope 2024\" width=\"502\" height=\"323\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PC-Oct-13-2024-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PC-Oct-13-2024-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PC-Oct-13-2024-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PC-Oct-13-2024-1536x989.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chdcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PC-Oct-13-2024-scaled.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 502px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 502\/323;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are very excited for this year\u2019s event taking place in person at Overpeck County Park in Ridgefield, NJ on\u00a0Sunday, October 13, 2024.
