Virtual charity event held to support families impacted by congenital heart disease

With Australia still emerging from COVID-19 restrictions, this Valentine’s Day will see less public wining and dining and more time at home with a special partner, friend or companion… fireplace and bear rug optional.

To help Australians enjoy Valentine’s Day at home, kid’s charity organisation HeartKids is launching a virtual event to take place Australia-wide for the entire month of February with proceeds going toward supporting families impacted by congenital heart disease (CHD).

Date Night In packages are available for $129 (plus $15 delivery) and include a $25 food delivery voucher, redeemable through event partner EASI Australia, along with a selection of gourmet cheeses and a bottle of both red and white wine – perfect for indecisive and picky drinkers alike.

HeartKids CEO Fiona Ellis says ‘HeartKids has been the voice of Australian children with heart disease and their families for almost 40 years.

‘By holding a virtual event tailored to the community’s needs, we hope to raise awareness and support for families impacted by this terrible disease who really have been doing it so tough over the last year or so.’

All proceeds from the event will go toward supporting Australian families impacted by CHD, which affects eight babies born in Australia each day (that’s one every three hours). The condition, with no known cure, claims four precious lives each week, making it one of the leading causes of infant death in the country.

To support the event, Australia’s only homegrown food delivery service, EASI Australia, has teamed up with HeartKids to help drive awareness and support.

‘During these especially difficult times, we are doing everything we can to help the Australian community,’ said Kitty Lu, National Operations Manager, EASI Australia.

‘We encourage couples, friends and families to take part in Date Night In this February and help us to support this important cause.

Date Night In bookings are open now with an estimated delivery time of approximately seven business days. To place your order, click here.
