Big Dreams for Little Hearts
Past and Upcoming Events
Our 2023 event
On August 5th, 2023, we held our first event since 2018. Themed around being a "Heart Hero", there were capes to decorate, games, and a family-friendly superhero movie, The Incredibles.
Additionally, we raffled off Cubs tickets, Chicago Bears and Philadelphia signed footballs, Buffalo Bills signed cleat, Hawthorn Woods Country Club and Steeple Chase Golf, Chicago Wolves gift bag, Atlas Car Wash VIP Treatments, Ace Hardware Igloo, Kendra Scott jewelry, and items from Beachwaver!
Our President helps install several new AEDs in residence halls around Iowa State
In February of 2023, Addison worked with the president of the university and the campus health and safety department to install an AED in her residence hall. This caused the campus to reconsider multiple areas around campus.
We partnered with Gigi's Playhouse in Deerfield
To end the 2022 season, Big Dreams for Little Hearts donated an AED to Gigi's Playhouse, a center for individuals with Down Syndrome. As they begin their fitness programs, we wanted to ensure the safety of all of the kids and families.
We partnered with Kendra Scott!
In 2022 and 2023, we visited a Kendra Scott store and raised over $1,000 in-store and online. We were able to donate one AED through the generosity of many shoppers!
We partnered with National Honors Society!
In 2022, Mundelein High School's National Honors Society decided to sell bracelets in honor of a little boy who passed away due to a Congenital Heart Defect. The members of NHS fundraised to help Big Dreams for Little Hearts.
