A Giving Heart Foundation was created after the Berk family’s son, Brayden, was born with aortic valve stenosis and required heart surgery at just one month old. What began as one family’s response to uncertainty has grown into an all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a bold vision for children living with congenital heart disease.
Today, the foundation has raised millions to fund innovative research and critical medical technologies. Every dollar moves us closer to a future where children with CHD can live longer, healthier lives filled with possibility and hope.
Looking ahead, AGHF is building toward national recognition, expanding our reach so more families, partners, and supporters join the mission to transform the future of children with CHD. By advancing breakthrough research, strengthening programs like Leading with Heart, our grant program, and raising critical funding for innovation and advocacy, we are creating a future where every child has the chance for a full, healthy, and fulfilling life.
