#LittleHatsBigHearts is the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s campaign, in connection with The Children’s Heart Foundation, to collect knitted or crocheted red baby hats. The hats will be distributed to babies born in hospitals across the country during February, which is American Heart Month.
Last year, we collected over 5,900 hats and delivered hats to 98 hospitals throughout the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate and want to make an even larger impact this year. If you, or someone you know, would like to knit or crochet hats, please contact the following staff in your area for more information:
