Courage Classic Funds
Over the years, the Cardiac Climbers team have raised more that $1.3m at the Courage Classic Tour. These funds are used directly to benefit some of the programs at the Pediatric Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado. These include:
- Research and innovation
- Advanced education and training
- Support for patients and families
Our Programs
Printing heart 3D models from 3D rotational angiography (3DRA) in the Cath lab was pioneered at Children’s Colorado as an invaluable surgical and interventional planning tool with the end-goal of reducing radiation.
The 3DRA images are processed by the interventional cardiologists and can be printed in our own 3D printer. Full article
A team from the Children’s Hospital Colorado presents their innovative research and use of 3D Pediatric Echocardiography to national and international medical professionals. This research contributes towards improving accuracy of diagnostics, surgical planning and reducing radiation during cardiac catheterization. More.

“Our ultimate goal is to replace all invasive diagnostic procedures”
We partner with and support organizations such as the PCHA, ACHA and American Heart Association.
On May 4, we will co-host a conference with the ACHA on the specialized life-long care for adults with congenital heart disease. Link to event
We support organizations such as the PCHA, which focus on advocacy, education and support for families affected by congenital heart disease.
