ORLANDO Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect, yet there isn’t a lot of awareness surrounding it — this is where the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association comes in. The Orlando branch held its Congenital Heart Gala Saturday, May 12, at the Waldorf Astoria. The evening included silent and live auctions, dinner, stories from pediatric CHD patients and their families and awards. By the end of the night, attendees had raised $100,000 for PCHA.
