Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation

The Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF) is a non-profit organization focused on pediatric cardiomyopathy, a chronic and potentially life-threatening heart disease. It is a condition that is not well known or well understood even though it is a leading cause of heart transplants and sudden cardiac arrest in children.

CCF was established in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) public charity to meet the critical need for more awareness, education, and research on pediatric cardiomyopathy. Over the years, CCF has grown into a global community of families, physicians, and scientists focused on improving diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for children with cardiomyopathy. CCF is committed to serving the needs of both the patient and the medical community with its mission of accelerating the search for causes and cures for pediatric cardiomyopathy through increased research, education, awareness, advocacy, and support for affected children and their families.
