Come support the Children's Heart Foundation through volunteering at the Krisleigh Kate Works Softball tournament. Volunteers needed to keep score, umpire, work concessions, and other various duties. Volunteers are welcome to stay all day or part of the day. We just appreciate your HELP!
All proceeds from the tournament will go towards Children’s Heart Foundation
Here is Krisleigh's story:
On July 8 2015 my daughter, Krisleigh Kate Works, passed away from a rare heart disease. A disease that made her left ventricle non compact or soft tissue that was larger than the rest of her heart, also making her other organs compensate for her heart. And on top of that, all the medicine she was on didn't help her liver... she passed due to clogged mucus in her throat they couldn’t get to pass: Subsequently Suffocation. I know she is in a better place now walking with our father... So now that makes me a Father to an angel. And I have devoted her birthday as a day of celebration and to give back. I do a softball benefit tournament the weekend of her birthday in Terrell, all proceeds are donated to the children's heart foundation. Last year was the 1st year and we receive $5,600 in donations, sponsors, teams that pay to play, Home run derby, food, raffles, etc... a lot of planning and organizing went in to play. With family, friends, and help from wonderful people like you.
Help me make a difference to give back to those who may have a chance.
Thank you!

Mission Statement
The goal of The Children’s Heart Foundation is to bring health, hope and happiness to children impacted by congenital heart defects, the number one birth defect in the United States. We accomplish this goal by funding the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of congenital heart defects.
Description
In the United States, a child is born with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) every 15 minutes. Children undergo surgeries and sadly, some die every day from CHDs.
We need to understand what causes CHDs and to prevent them. We need to detect and diagnose CHDs as early as possible. While much progress has been made, we need to develop new treatments for CHDs so that children undergo fewer invasive surgeries and improve the long-term prognosis for children with CHDs.
We need your support to fund the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CHDs in children.
