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.
