HeartGift

The HeartGift team came together in Austin for our annual staff meeting! 💚

It’s rare that we all get to be in the same room, so getting to spend time together was a TREAT! From team building with Dale Carnegie staff to game night and our board meeting, we packed the week with connection, collaboration, and plenty of laughs. 🫶

We spent hours talking, brainstorming, dreaming up new ideas, and, of course, collecting some GOLDEN quotes from our amazing team. 😂

That’s what sets HeartGift apart. It’s the relationships we build, the passion we bring, and our shared commitment to the mission. Together, we’re working to give children with congenital heart defects a chance at healthier, brighter futures. ❤️

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEIGNETS FOR BREAKFAST!!!! YUMMMMM! 🤤💙

Our HeartGift Louisiana patients got to experience one of New Orleans’ sweetest traditions: a face full of powdered sugar and a serious sugar rush! 😂🍩

And remember… whatever you do, DON’T BREATHE IN! 🤣

We are so grateful to Café du Monde for treating our kids to the sweet treat of their dreams and giving them another fun memory to take home.

Nothing says Louisiana quite like beignets, powdered sugar, and a whole lot of laughter! 💙
