The American Heart Association is a relentless force dedicated to saving and improving every child's life. Our vision is that all children, regardless of gender, race, location or economic status, should be able to grow to their full potential.
A place for students who go above & beyond raising over $500 in life-saving funds through Kids Heart Challenge and the communities that support them in the mission of helping others, getting healthier and fighting heart disease.
Additionally, a place for Heart & Stroke Survivors and their families to find resources, support and a community of heart heroes.
INSPIRE. LEAD.
SAVE LIVES.
