Cesco’s Heart was founded by John and Dana Vavalle in 2012 when their first-born son lost his battle with his congenital heart defect (CHD).  They began this non-for-profit organization to support the research and advancements in treatments for children with born with CHD's.  Cesco’s Heart donates 100% of their proceeds to Advocate Children’s Hospital.  John and Dana are also members of Advocate Children’s Hospital’s Presidents Society, they run a toy drive every holiday season, and visit the patients and families throughout the year.  Cesco’s Heart holds an annual fundraiser every year to raise money and bring awareness for this important cause they hold dear to their heart.
