Young Artists Get to the Heart of Afflictions Facing Peers
Kid’s HeART Exhibit at American Tobacco Raises Awareness of Congenital Heart Defects
|
For 36,000 sets of parents each year, the arrival of a baby is met with both joy and fear after they discover their child has a congenital heart defect. To raise awareness for these serious afflictions facing more than 1 million Americans, the American Heart Association is bringing the “Kid’s HeART” exhibit to American Tobacco Campus Jan. 4 through Jan. 11.
Children across the Triangle were tasked to draw their vision of a healthy heart, and the response. Over 360 local children submitted pieces, with 6 winners being selected to be featured in the exhibit.
The exhibit is sponsored by American Airlines and Williams Mullen Law Firm.
