Join us on February 12th 2021 and show your love in a different way as part of Valentine's Day by holding a Little Heart Day!

As well as being Valentines Day February 14th is also International Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Day, in 2021 Valentine's Day falls on the weekend. Despite this we still want want schools, pre-schools and businesses to get behind Little Heart Day and take part in all the fun, so we have moved the event date to Friday 12th February so everyone can still take part. 2020 saw our biggest turn out of participants yet and we want to smash that total in 2021! #littleheartday #CHDawarewness #1in100 #mendednevercured

Remember a Little Heart Day can be as big or small as you would like - you can have a mufti day at your school or in the office encourage people to dress in red or heart themed clothes, you could have a bake sale and sell heart shaped cookies, the possibilities are endless really! It is the day we recognise the 1 in every 100 children who are born with broken hearts around the world. All funds raised help support children, like our poster girl Sapphire-Rose (pictured above), who are born with heart conditions.

1 in every 100 babies born in New Zealand have a congenital Heart Defect (CHD)
There are over 40 different types of heart defects
Over 600 major heart surgeries are carried out every year on kiwi heart children

Celebrate International Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Day on Friday February 12th, 2021 by having a Little Heart Day ❤

I'm interested in getting involved by:

Asking people to wear red or mufti for the day in exchange for a gold coin donation

Having a bake sale with all proceeds going to Heart Kids

I have another awesome idea:

I understand Heart Kids and its afilliated branches cannot be held responsible for any personal injury, damage to property or financial losses that may occur as result of the Little Heart Day Event. I agree to transfer all moneis to Heart kids within one month of completion of my funrising activity.
