What we do
The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund focuses on the following programs to raise money and awareness for Arizona families with children who have congenital heart disease:
Family Assistance
The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund covers expenses for families of children with congenital heart disease that are often not paid for by many insurance policies. These expenses may include ambulance service, air evacuation, some prescription medications and travel and lodging for the family during heart surgeries that are not performed locally. Families seeking assistance are referred to the Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund by their cardiologist, social worker or other medical professional.

The Camp Experience
We believe that children suffering from congenital heart disease should go to camp too – just like their friends! That’s why each year we pay tuition and travel expenses for Arizona children to attend the Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp located in Prescott, AZ.
The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund has sponsored 1800 camper experiences for the last 25 years.
As one of the few camps with medically trained staff on hand to care for these special-needs children ages 7-17, Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp provides families peace of mind while offering kids the full camping experience – from sleeping in a cabin, nature walks, water sports and recreation to arts and crafts. It also provides a setting that is supportive and inspires self-esteem building and socialization for children who suffer from congenital heart disease.
Special thanks to all of our volunteers who made camp 2019 a huge success! We had a record breaking number of 124 Arizona children who have heart defects who were able to enjoy a week at camp! We can't wait for next year!
Volunteers are always needed, contact our Director if you would like more information at: cathyk@nickandkellyfund.org
