Big Hearts helping Little Hearts
In Support of SickKids Foundation |
Cardiac Kids is a volunteer group established in 2000 to raise much-needed funds for children who are suffering from congenital heart disease. 1 in 100 Canadian children are born with a congenital heart defect and more than half need surgery to survive. More than half of the patients who require surgery are under one year old, and almost a quarter are less than a month old. Congenital Heart Defects or CHDs are the most common birth defect.
Funds raised by Cardiac Kids are used to support the children and staff of the cardiology ward at The Hospital for Sick Children.

Cardiac Kids has touched many lives since its inception, we remain committed to providing fun and social opportunities that contribute to the emotional well being of children with congenital heart disease. To boost the morale of the children and their families, Cardiac Kids has hosted approximately 2000 kids from across Ontario , Quebec and Atlantic Canada at various sporting and social events. In addition, Cardiac Kids provides funding for educational seminars for patients and their families, sponsors Team SickKids at the World Transplant Games, and donated $1,000,000 to Camp Oki the first Canadian camp for kids with heart defects. |
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.
