The Adult Congenital Heart Association has announced that it will hold its annual Phoenix Walk for 1 in 100 on Nov. 6 at Tempe Diablo Stadium, located at 2200 W Alameda Drive, in Tempe.
The family-friendly event will feature activities like face painting, a photo booth, giant Connect Four, Jenga and cornhole, as well as a heart-themed scavenger hunt to raise awareness for adult congenital heart disease. Scottsdale restaurant Salt Cellar and Kona Ice will provide refreshments to energize walkers. Check-in for the event begins at 9 a.m., with the opening ceremony kicking off at 10 a.m.
“Walk for 1 in 100 helps to energize our network of patients with congenital heart disease, supporters, and medical professionals in communities across the country and to increase knowledge of the specialized care that those born with heart defects need throughout their lifetimes,” said Mark Roeder, president and CEO of ACHA in a statement. “After we transitioned all walk events in 2020 and 2021 to virtual to keep our community safe, we look forward to meeting new friends in-person in all our Walk for 1 in 100 communities this year!”
Funds generated through the Phoenix walk will support the ACHA Adult Congenital Heart Disease Accreditation Program, which is working to elevate and standardize care for people living with ACHD nationwide. In addition, Walk for 1 in 100 funds cutting-edge medical research, advocacy efforts and various educational and outreach initiatives.
Several nonprofit organizations have pledged to donate and fund ACHA’s awareness initiatives, including Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Johnson & Johnson, Mayo Clinic, Hercules Industries, Newrez Now and Wolff Mechanical, Inc.
