As heart month wraps up, Lasting Imprint is excited to announce a new partnership with Scratch Golf, a program developed by the Congenital Heart Alliance of Cincinnati!

As a new sponsor for the program, Lasting Imprint heart warriors have an opportunity to secure a registration spot with Scratch Golf.

As many of you know, finding activities that are safe for our heart warriors to participate in can be challenging. Scratch Golf was developed with pediatric heart patients in mind. This program not only teaches them how to play golf, a sport they can safely play into adulthood, but will also connect them with kids just like them. Registrants also have the chance to continue their lessons at another First Tee golf camp during the summer.

More details are included in the graphics below. Please reach out to staff@lastingimprint.org for details and information on how to register!

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope on this last day of CHD Awareness Week that you all feel filled up and motivated to continue the fight for CHD. The week may end, but striving for more research and better results doesn't!

Drop a heart in the comments that matches what condition you or your child have been diagnosed with. If you don't see your diagnosis (we know there are many) comment with what it is!

One of our board members got some great photos of Eide Bailly Tower lit up red and blue!

If you're in the Mankato area it will be lit through the 14th!

Thank you to CORE Business Group for going the extra mile for CHD Awareness!

Lasting Imprint not only provides AEDs to businesses and organizations that need them, we also provide hospital kits for families that are in-patient at St Mary's in Rochester and at the U of M.

Our kits include a variety of items that families might find helpful and comforting during a hospital stay.

A recent grant through Consolidated Communications allowed us to purchase several new items, as well as replenish some existing things.

We wish we could have our kits available at more locations, but if you ever find yourself in need of one, don't hesitate to contact us!

Thank you Consolidated Communications for helping us support our heart families!

The Mankato Clinic Foundation is proud to support Lasting Imprint, an organization committed to fighting congenital heart defects (CHD). Lasting Imprint donated an AED machine to Hillside Church, where members received CPR and AED training.

We kicked off CHD Awareness week in the best way on Saturday!

Thanks to a grant from the Mankato Clinic Foundation, Lasting Imprint was able provide both an AED and training to Hillside Church in Mankato.

We are so glad we can help provide AEDs to locations in our communities that are in need of them.

Thank you Kristen Thomas for providing the training and to Mankato Clinic for the grant opportunity!

It's officially CHD Awareness Week! We made the trek up to Minneapolis to get a few photos of the 35W bridge.

It's incredible to see and amazing to know it's all in honor of our heart warriors and angels. Thank you MNDOT!

Here's to a great week of celebrating our warriors and remembering our angels

Are you wearing red today???

We'd love to see your photos of how you're honoring the brave kids affected by CHD like these kiddos pictured below!
