Willenberg Congenital Heart Disease Endowment, which supports the Prisma Health Children’s Hospital Camp Heart-to-Heart, a summer camp for children with heart conditions. This program provides a safe, joyful space for kids to experience childhood adventures, empowering them with courage and community.
