We understand the challenges associated with having a heart condition. We are so proud of the accomplishments of our “heart warriors,” and want to support one graduating senior each year with a $1,000 scholarship toward their continued education. This scholarship is sponsored jointly by the Children’s Heart Center of Central Oregon and the Children’s Heart Fund of the St. Charles Foundation.
