Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund

Who We Are

The Nick & Kelly Children's Heart Fund is an all-volunteer organization with no paid administrators, making it unique among local charitable groups. 

What We Do

The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund focuses on family assistance and camp to raise money and awareness for Arizona families with children who have congenital heart disease.

About

We believe that children suffering from congenital heart disease should go to camp too – just like their friends! That’s why each year we pay tuition and travel expenses for Arizona children to attend the Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp located in Prescott, AZ.

The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund has sponsored 1800 camper experiences for the last 25 years.

As one of the few camps with medically trained staff on hand to care for these special-needs children ages 7-17, Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp provides families peace of mind while offering kids the full camping experience – from sleeping in a cabin, nature walks, water sports and recreation to arts and crafts. It also provides a setting that is supportive and inspires self-esteem building and socialization for children who suffer from congenital heart disease.

“Dan and Margaret Majetich founded the organization in 1985 after the death of their younger son, Kelly, from a congenital heart defect.  They added the name of their remaining child, Nick, after his death in 1992.”
