The Pittsburgh Congenital Heart Walk is part of the nation’s premiere walk series dedicated to raising funds for congenital heart defect research.
PITTSBURGH, PA – The Children’s Heart Foundation is honored to have U. S. Steel as the Presenting Sponsor of the Pittsburgh Congenital Heart Walk for the second year in a row.
The Congenital Heart Walk is the nation’s largest walk series dedicated to raising money to fund congenital heart defect research. Congenital heart defects, or CHDs, are America’s most common and deadly birth defect. Nearly 40,000 babies are born with a CHD each year in the U.S.; this equates to 1 child every 15 minutes.
At U. S. Steel, we believe our business thrives when we are actively engaged and involved in the communities where we make steel. U. S. Steel’s contributions to community organizations and activities support a range of causes. The primary goals of our contributions: to positively impact the communities that U. S. Steel calls home, to enhance and improve quality of life in those communities, and to support projects and opportunities that advance safety, education and environmental stewardship.
The Pittsburgh Congenital Heart Walk Presented by U. S. Steel will unite supporters to raise funds for research to improve survival, longevity, and quality of life for all CHD patients. Join us as at Stage AE on Sunday, June 22, 2025 for a day of fun activities, entertainment, research updates, and our family-friendly one mile walk! Together, we are creating hope for every heartbeat. Visit https://events.chfwalk.org/event/pittsburgh to register as a walker, start a team, sign up to be a volunteer, or to make a donation.
Since 1996, The Children’s Heart Foundation has funded nearly $20 million of CHD research and scientific collaborations, helping lead to improved diagnostics, earlier interventions, groundbreaking procedures, and life-saving treatments for individuals living with CHDs. The money raised by the Congenital Heart Walk series is helping to fund the groundbreaking research of tomorrow.
