Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To enhance the lives of children and families confronting cardiac challenges by actively engaging in the prevention, treatment, and research of sudden cardiac arrest in children and teens.

  • The Blake Barklage Foundation made the following contributions during the year: *In January 2024, $5,000 was donated to St. Mark's Church to support programs run during the Christmas holiday, as well as provide clothing to homeless individuals. *A total of $165,000 was donated throughout 2024 to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which specifically supported three initiatives: (1) The Blake Barklage Fund for Cardiac Social Work, which provides financial assistance to inpatient and outpatient families identified by CHOP cardiac social workers as being in need, (2) The Blake Barklage Fund for Youth Heart Watch, which supports the prevention of sudden cardiac arrest in children and adolescents by providing cardiac screenings, donating AEDs to schools in need, and developing emergency response programs, and (3) The Blake Barklage Fund for Heart Camp, which provides pediatric heart or lung tranplant patients or those with pulmonary hypertension the opportunity to experience joy, freedom, and friendship during a week-long overnight camp set in a safe and supportive environment. *Another $5,000 donation made to St. Mark's Church in October provided 500 school backpacks for children in the Frankford community in Philadelphia. *In May 2024, the Blake Barklage Foundation awarded a $500 academic scholarship to a volunteer student from LaSalle University High School who exhibited exceptional dedication and impact at Triest Hall, a 24-hour residential facility for adults coping with complications from neurodevelopmental disorders.
