Annual Family Heart Party
What happens at the Heart Party?
The Annual Family Heart Party is a beloved Heart Beats tradition that brings together children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and their families for an afternoon of fun, connection, and celebration. Held each February, this special event is more than just a party—it’s a chance for families in the CHD community to relax, play, and make joyful memories with others who understand their journey.
The Family Heart Party features interactive activities like face painting, crafts, cookie decorating, games, music, and more. Guests enjoy delicious food and beverages in a festive, welcoming environment filled with laughter and support. Volunteers, donors, and community partners help make the day possible, ensuring it’s accessible and unforgettable for all who attend.
The Heart Party is an annual reminder that no family walks this path alone—and that a strong, compassionate community is always here to lift each other up.
