Join passionate walkers, teams, sponsors, and volunteers as we walk to support The Children's Heart Foundation's mission: to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects by funding the most promising research.

Our event will be a day of fun activities, entertainment, research updates, and our family-friendly one mile walk! Together, we can bring hope, inspiration, and unity to the forefront of our mission.

As you can imagine, we require many volunteers on walk day to make an impactful event for all participants. We have various opportunities with different time requirements throughout the event. Please see below for an overview of a few of the different opportunities.

  • Event Setup - Assist with tasks such as putting up tents, tables, and chairs, unloading and unpacking boxes, preparing tent sites for the public opening of the site, and anything else needed to make the site look like a Congenital Heart Walk
  • Registration - Assist in checking people in for the event, direct people to the proper areas, ensure unregistered participants complete paper registration, collect any donations coming in during the event.
