MKDA’s Marketing and Brand Manager Emily Cacace served as a committee member at the Children’s Heart Foundation’s Long Island Congenital Heart Walk at Sunken Meadow. The event drew 956 attendees in support of spreading awareness and funding critical research for life-saving treatment for babies and children born with congenital heart defects.

Emily took to the stage to share the story of her daughter Daisy, who was born with a congenital heart defect, bringing a deeply personal perspective to the day’s mission. The walk received local media attention, including coverage on News 12 Long Island, bringing even greater visibility to this important cause.

“It was an incredible honor to share my daughter Daisy’s story and contribute to spreading awareness for children like Daisy who were born with congenital heart defects. I’m proud to work for a company that encourages the team to give back to our communities,” —said Emily Cacace.

The event was a remarkable success, raising over $230,000 to fund critical research through the Children’s Heart Foundation. MKDA was proud to support the event as a sponsor and to have one of our own at the forefront of this meaningful cause.

Congratulations Emily!
