On July 22nd, 2024, the sun shone brightly on the 13th Annual Chipping Away At CHD event, where community, compassion, and golf combined for a day of joy and record-breaking generosity!
Hosted by A Giving Heart Foundation, this year’s event wasn't just about hitting the greens, it was about hitting new heights in our mission to support families facing congenital heart defects (CHD).
Looking for a Hole in One - And We Did It!
We’re thrilled to share that this year’s event raised an incredible $280,000, the most ever in our foundation’s history! With over 180 golfers and 50 volunteers, this was the largest group of volunteers we’ve ever had, the day was a true celebration of what we can accomplish together.
The energy was palpable, the competition friendly, and the weather? Absolutely perfect.
We owe a huge round of applause to Lauren Deegan, our superstar Board member, whose leadership and enthusiasm were key to making this year’s event such a smashing success.
And let’s not forget the Busking family and our amazing sponsors. Your support continues to propel us forward and helps make days like these possible.
Heartwarming Moments
While the golf was fantastic, it was the stories shared that truly touched our hearts. Monica’s heartfelt remembrance of her daughter Peyton, who passed away in October 2023, reminded us of the vital importance of our work.
And who could forget Kameryn? Once a small child undergoing open-heart surgery, Kameryn is now like other kids her age and is gearing up for college! Her story is a shining example of the progress we’re making together, and it brought smiles all around as we celebrated her journey.
Looking Forward with a Full Heart
The 13th Annual Chipping Away At CHD event was more than just a day of golf, it was a day of community, laughter, and shared commitment to a cause close to our hearts. With your ongoing support, we’re not just chipping away at CHD, we’re driving toward a future where every child with a congenital heart defect has the chance to thrive.
So what’s next? We’re already looking ahead, and we’d love for you to join us. Whether through our Leading with Heart program or at our next big event, there are so many ways to stay involved and keep the momentum going.
A Big Thank You To Our Sponsors
We couldn’t have achieved this success without the generosity of our sponsors. A huge thank you to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and commitment to our mission. Your contributions have made an incredible impact, and we are deeply grateful for your partnership in helping us make a difference in the lives of children with CHD.
From all of us at A Giving Heart Foundation, thank you for making this year’s Chipping Away At CHD event a joyful, record-breaking success. Together, we’re making a difference one event, one story, and one heart at a time.
