One of our favorite moments of the Virtual Dinner is the CHD Showcase. 💙 Every photo and video reminds us who we do this work for: the resilient, incredible families who inspire us every day.

These images play on repeat thorughout the year, line the walls of our office, and are woven into our materials- constant reminders of the precious hearts we’re honored to support.

We’re now collecting photos and videos for the 2026 CHD Showcase, which will be featured during the Virtual Dinner on February 19. Thank you for being part of the HeartWorks community and helping us change outcomes for CHD.

Project 1 in 100

There are five of us behind Project 1 in 100, and every story looks a little different. This month, we’re opening the door to our experiences with congenital heart disease and the moments that led us here. We hope you see pieces of your own story in ours.

Did you know?

CHD isn’t just a childhood condition - it’s a lifelong journey. 🫀

Thanks to advances in care, more than 85% of children with CHD now live into adulthood. But that also means they need long-term support as their hearts grow and change.

Why this is important:
• Adults with CHD now outnumber children
• Many require specialized heart care for life
• Research is key to improving outcomes

At HeartWorks, we're working on therapies designed to support every stage of life, from infancy to adulthood. 💙

CHD doesn’t just impact patients, it impacts whole families. ❤️

Parents become advocates.
Siblings become cheerleaders.
Care teams become extended family.

And every milestone - big or small - becomes something to celebrate. 🎉

That’s why HeartWorks is committed not only to science, but to hope. Hope for easier treatments, fewer surgeries, and a future full of possibility for the 1 in 100 born with CHD.
