Celebrating progress in Brazil. Investing in the future of children’s heart care.
The Global Gathering, Children’s HeartLink’s signature fundraising event, brings together people from around the world committed to improving access to quality heart care for children. This year, we’ll share a powerful story from Brazil and look ahead to a future where every child has the opportunity to receive the care they need.
