Come (virtually) celebrate CHD Awareness Week with Conquering CHD - Massachusetts at our first annual Hearts & Crafts event! We will be hopping on Zoom, sharing some laughs, and building a beautiful hanging craft! Have a pencil and paper ready, too! We will kick off the event with a few rounds of a fan favorite game - Scattergories! Once we get out a few giggles we'll put our creative hats on! We'll be thinking about and recording some of our hopes to hang on our hope catchers/mobiles! These will make a great piece of festive decor, a reminder to follow your dreams, or a sweet gift for your loved ones on Sunday! We are happy to provide all the supplies you and your family need - just be sure to fill out our Google Form by February 3rd!

This fundraising event will be held virtually on February 27, 2021. Join us and enjoy Adam Stone Magic, a silent auction, and more as we fight to Conquer CHD together. Everyone’s safety is our top priority, so this year we will be hosting this gala as a virtual event. We are excited to be able to include even more people we serve across the state of Pennsylvania who normally wouldn’t be able to travel to our local gala. As you may be aware, congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, effecting approximately 1 in 100 babies. Often parents receive their child’s diagnosis while pregnant at a routine ultrasound. Even though CHD’s are the most common birth defect, many parents have never heard of their child’s specific diagnosis. Conquering CHD-PA begins our support from the very beginning with our prenatal care packages. This package gives them valuable information with resources to help them start their journey with their life long congenital heart disease. Once their child is born we are able to offer even more support through patient care packages. These care packages are available across the lifespan, and include our prenatal, heart catheritization, and open-heart surgery care packages. This care from birth to adult is the main reason we have changed our name from Pediatric Congenital Heart Association - PA to Conquering CHD - PA, to better reflect our care for CHD patients across the lifespan. Funds raised through this event will help provide resources to patients and families in our community - people who receive care or reside in Pennsylvania. We will also continue to provide CHD support and community awareness through peer to peer meetings, advocacy, community events, and participation in research. Registration to attend is FREE!

Pre-Conference Health Disparities Meeting, a follow-up from the 2020 Summit on Transparency and Public Reporting.

Your Voice Matters!!! Join patients and families like you, along with medical providers and federal policymakers, to educate our members of Congress about congenital heart disease! Lend your voice to the cause and together, we will conquer CHD.

Please join our ACHD Coordinator, Danielle, for CCHD-MA's first coffee hour via zoom. You do not have to be from Massachusetts to attend! We will send you the zoom link when the event date gets closer. We hope to "see" you there!
