Little Hats Big Hearts is a project of the American Heart Association AHA. The AHA says that ‘The tiny pop of red helps raise awareness for Congenital Heart Defects’ CHD’s.

1 in 100 babies are born with a Congenital Heart Defect according the CDC. A CHD is defined as a heart condition which is present at birth and can have lifelong impacts by the CDC. 1 out of every 4 babies born with a CHD will require a lifesaving open heart surgery or other surgical intervention before their first birthday – 15% of babies won’t make it to their 18th.
