The wonderful loving and dedicated nursing care Averi received assured Averi and her family that at Children’s Hospital, she was always in the best hands.

Averi’s Foundation was formed to provide nursing scholarships to the Cardiac Nurses at Children’s Hospital for their continuing education program. We also help provide financial support to Camp Rhythm and short term support to Children’s Hospital Heart Families in need as well.

With 3 separate fundraisers over the last 3 years we have raised a total of over $60,000. Please help us again reach our goal to help the lives of dozens of child whose lives are saved every year right here at St. Louis' own Children's Hospital, 1 of 5 such hospitals in the U.S.
