The 9th Annual Walk with the Heart of a Child,
presented by Paragon Gaming, is set for Saturday, February 25, 2012, at the
Fashion Show Mall and supports the Nevada based, Children’s Heart Foundation.
Walk
with the Heart of a Child is a high-energy celebration including a 3k walk,
entertainment, raffle and the ever popular Kids Zone. During this event, teams gather at the
Fashion Show Mall to walk in celebration and remembrance of children with heart
conditions, and to unite the community through awareness. More than 1,400 local
people support the Walk each year to help generate funds that allow the
Foundation to continue to carry out its programs, including Camp Mend-a-Heart,
Smart Heart Scholarships, Family Outreach and more.
The
walk begins at 8 a.m. with registration at 7 a.m. On-line registration is available now at
www.chfn.org. Fees are $25 for adults, $15 for virtual walkers, and $15 for
active-duty military, students and seniors. Community members and businesses
interested in supporting Children’s Heart Foundation may phone (702) 967-3522
for sponsorship and team registration information. Sponsorships begin at
$1,500.
“Coming
together as a community and supporting Children’s Heart Foundation, allows us
to improve our heart families’ lives and walk with them through their journey,”
said Lyn Acebo, Walk Chairperson and heart mom. “It’s simple, gather your
family and friends and logon to www.chfn.org to sign up as a team for the Walk,
and make a difference in the life of a heart child.”
Children’s
Heart Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to making a positive
difference in the lives of children with heart conditions throughout Nevada. We
empower heart families through emotional, educational and financial support to
inspire a higher quality of life for all. The Foundation has three main goals:
to provide a carefree camp experience for children with heart conditions; to
educate healthcare professionals and the general public on pediatric cardiology
issues; to lend support to families as they deal with the emotional and
financial toll exacted by a child's heart conditions; and to support research
in the area of pediatric cardiology.
Children's
Heart Foundation is located at 3006 S. Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
