SCRATCH GOLF

Scratch Golf helps kids with congenial heart defects (CHD) take a mental-health break from medical issues, while meeting new friends, and learning the game of golf - a heart-safe activity they can play for a lifetime. Scratch Golf is powered by the Congenital Heart Alliance, a non-profit organization resolved to overcoming CHD through funding research, global collaboration, and well-being initiatives like Scratch Golf.

Congenital Heart alliance works with several other heart organizations to help children with CHD live full happy lives.
