Proceeds will benefit the Gabrielle Dinsmore Heart & Hope Fund, which provides financial assistance grants to families in need and funds Gabrielle’s Heart Camp, the region’s only camp for kids with congenital heart defects and heart disease. The fund hopes to become a recognized resource for educational, emotional, recreational and financial support for Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts children and families impacted by congenital heart defects, heart disease and severe feeding issues.

The fund is named in honor of Gabrielle Dinsmore. Gabrielle was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect shortly after she was born on April 26, 2007. She had three open-heart surgeries before she was two. Due to complications from heart disease, she passed away on March 30, 2010. This year’s event falls close to what would have been Gabrielle’s seventh birthday.
