The Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce recently announced its commitment to the Children's Heart Foundation and its mission to bring health, hope and happiness to children and families impacted by congenital heart defects.

"Most people are unaware that Congenital Heart Defects are the most common birth defect in America, affecting approximately one in 100, or 40,000 newborns each year." Tayde Aburto, HISCEC president and marketing director, said. "My baby was born with a CHD. 'Touch a Child's Heart' fundraising campaign is a personal commitment, for me and everyone at the HISCEC, to support the CHF's mission and its valuable contributions to society."

The HISCEC will donate a portion of the proceeds from the organization's 2010 Business and Technology Expo to the CHF. The event will be held at the San Diego Convention Center Sept. 10-11 this year.

Monies donated to the Children's Heart Foundation help fund research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the No. 1 birth defect in the United states.
