Cardiac Kids is a volunteer group founded in 2000, established to raise much-needed funds for children who are suffering from congenital heart disease. Every year, 8 out of 1000 children are born with congenital heart defects. Last year in Canada there were approximately 400,000 births, which means that in this country alone, approximately 3200 children were born with some form of heart defect.

All money raised directly benefits the children and staff of the cardiology ward at The Hospital for Sick Children. To boost the morale of the children and their families, Cardiac Kids has hosted approximately 2000 children and families at various sports and social events.

In addition, Cardiac Kids provides funding for educational seminars for patients and their families, as well as provided the start up capital for Camp Oki, the first Canadian camp for children with pacemakers.

Furthermore, Cardiac Kids is a strong supporter of pediatric cardiology nursing education, with the aim of helping provide the best possible care for children who must undergo cardiac treatment. To that end, each year scholarships and conference funding are provided to Cardiac Program nurses to maintain their position at the leading edge of pediatric cardiology nursing.
