This group is supported by a well orchestrated medical team that have saved many children's lives who suffered from congenital cardiopathies. With the support of our sponsors, normally a surgery like this is performed once a week on Mondays and the Doctors provide their talent pro bono as our medical team. We whole-heartedly thank this wonderful group of human beings and our sponsors for their support to our Corazon de Niños program.

The "Corazon de Niños" program is a long-standing initiative established and consistently backed by our club. It holds a special significance as our most vital service. The program focuses on children born with heart conditions, known as cardiopathies. Our club collaborates with medical personnel partners in Mexico who conduct thorough evaluations of these children. The purpose of these evaluations is to assess the severity of their heart conditions, enabling the medical team to prioritize and plan surgical interventions. The ultimate goal is to save the lives of these children through timely and targeted medical care.
Notably, a substantial portion of our fundraising efforts is specifically allocated to support this noble cause. This underscores our club's unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of children with cardiopathies. By dedicating significant resources to Corazon de Niños, we strive to ensure that these children receive the necessary medical interventions and care, emphasizing the importance of this program as a central focus of our philanthropic endeavors.
