In addition, ‘Hands for Hearts’ also supports summer camp programs and support communities for children with CHD.
Skotty Wannamaker, Jeff Fusaiotti and Kathleen Little founded it in honor of their friend Matt Sullivan, who died in 2014.
Sullivan's nephew, Nicholas Lacrose, was born with a congenital heart defect -- a condition that affects 40,000 babies (one in 100) born in the U.S. every year.
The fifth-annual casino night will feature amazing auction items (including rare bourbon and beautiful artwork).
WFMY’s Meghann Mollerus will be the event’s emcee.
