An evening of entertainment to raise funds in support of Phoenix Children’s Center for Heart Care and RaeRae of Light, and to celebrate the medical and community leaders who impact the lives of congenital heart defect patients. Guests will enjoy cocktails and buffet, silent auction, guest speakers, and live entertainment. Attendance is free and by invitation.

RaeRae of Light is a family operated non-profit founded in 2020 in memory of our angel baby Reagan, who was born with a critical congenital heart defect and was sadly taken from us at only 6 months old. Our mission is to raise awareness and fund research for CHDs and to help other children born with these defects. In addition, we provide individual financial assistance and resources to families as they navigate the journey with their medically complex child.

Congenital heart defects currently affect 1 in 100 live births, and 25% of these children are born with a critical congenital heart defect. Babies with a critical CHD need surgery or other procedures within the first year of life, many within the first days of life. Family life is often disrupted as children born with CHDs often endure lengthy hospitalizations which places an immense burden on the entire family.
