Be #CHDWise and be a part of our Give a HOOT about CHD Campaign!
Here are a few key ways to join the movement:
Hello Echo!
We enlisted your help to name our cute, cuddly, and wise owl and boy did you deliver! With over 70% of the votes – we officially have a winner! With your overwhelming support, the name of the official mascot of Conquering CHD is hereby named Echo and we love him – Thank you for your participation!
Purchase an Owl
This adorable plush owl stands 8 inches tall. His fur is soft enough to melt anyone’s heart. The heart on his chest represents the community’s efforts to conquer congenital heart disease, making this a must for everyone you know who is touched by CHD. We will also be adding these owls to our existing care package program through our state chapters so they will included in select kits we provide to patients and families impacted by CHD.
Comfort a loved one, spread awareness, or simply show that you “Give a Hoot About CHD!” Echo can fly right to your doorstep by purchasing him from our online store or directly from the voting page!
Color with Echo

A Great #CHDWise #GivingTuesday
#GivingTuesday is a day that the world recognizes the importance of giving back.
This global day of giving follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday and encourages communities to contribute to their favorite nonprofits and help kick off the giving season!
It’s a great way for us to reach new audiences who may not be familiar with our mission. Our goal was to raise $6000 so we can give 1000 Echo Owls to patients and families who have been hospitalized due to Congenital Heart Disease and WE DID IT! And it’s all because of YOU! Between the generous #GivingTuesday donations and the recent “Buy One. Give One.” Owl purchases we have reached our goal of funding 1000 owls to give to patients with CHD – IN JUST ONE DAY!
There’s still time to help us send even more owls – your donation matters. Your Buy One. Give One. matters.
