Chicago Congenital Heart Walk

Saturday, June 7, 2025 · 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM

Join us for a meaningful one-mile walk where heart families, supporters, and survivors unite for change. This family-friendly event brings our community together, honoring Heart Warriors we've lost and celebrating those still fighting. We walk side by side - heart families, bereaved families, and supporters - showing that no one faces CHDs alone. Your fundraising fuels vital research for congenital heart defects - the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in 110 babies. Through The Children's Heart Foundation's research grants, we fund innovative treatments and surgical advances that help children with CHD live longer, healthier lives.   For information on more events like this, check out our roundup of 5K Races and Kids’ Fun Runs.
