February 7-14 is CHD (Congenital Heart Disease/Defect) Awareness Week, with Valentine's Day, February 14, as "CHD Awareness Day".
Many organizations/events help to spread awareness about CHDs, including, but not limited to:
ACHA, Adult Congenital Heart Association:

"The Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA) is a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the quality of life and extend the lives of congenital heart defect survivors. Through education, outreach, advocacy and promotion of research, ACHA serves and supports the more than 1.8 million individuals with congenital heart defects, their families, and the medical community."

(and)
The Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Quilt Project:
http://www.chdquilt.org/
"The Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Quilt Project was created to promote greater public awareness of Congenital Heart Defects (CHD), while honoring the strength, courage, and commitment of all those born with a CHD and their families. The Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Quilts are a series of quilts, with each quilt honoring 42 individuals with CHD. The quilts are being constructed of heart blocks, with each block being dedicated to a child or adult effected by Congenital Heart Defects."
