Healing Hearts Benefit
📅 Date: September 18th, 2026
⏰ Time: 5:30pm
📍 Location: Loft 214, Stillwater, MN
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we come together to support children and families facing congenital heart defects (CHD).
This year’s Healing Hearts Benefit will feature dinner, exciting raffle baskets, our popular wine pull, and an opportunity to hear how your generosity is making a real difference for heart families in our community.
Because of supporters like you, we’ve been able to provide meaningful assistance to families navigating long hospital stays, unexpected expenses, and the emotional challenges that come with a congenital heart defect diagnosis. Together, we’re helping ease burdens so families can focus on what matters most—their child.
Whether you’re joining us in honor of a heart warrior, in memory of a loved one, or simply because you believe every family deserves hope and support, we’re so grateful to have you with us. Thank you for helping us continue Charlotte’s legacy and for making a lasting difference in the lives of children and families living with CHD.
Together, we can help more hearts heal!

A Note From Our Founder
The Reason for the Charlie Girl Foundation
Charlotte Ava – “Charlie Girl”
As Charlie's parents, we believe that she lived for a purpose. Strength, peace, compassion, generosity and love are the lights that she shined in her life and through her illness. Now, after her death, we want to reflect those lights and make them grow.
The intent of this foundation is to support families like ours:
Through the generous donations of others financially supporting children and families faced with the challenges of congenital heart defects
By inspiring peace during adversity and compassion during hardship through our words and acts of service to children and families dealing with congenital heart defects
By showing love and strength to the children and families fighting heart disease while we raise awareness and support for research-based solutions for congenital heart defects
Support Our Mission
You Can Make a Difference
Your tax-deductible donation helps to support families whose children are fighting a congenital heart defect. Donations also help fund lifesaving research, treatment, and care through organizations on the front line of pediatric heart disease. We welcome contributions in any amount, and we appreciate your generosity!
