International Impact

1K For Kids is an annual event hosted by Casa de Corazón® that brings together families, staff, and community partners to support children’s education, healthcare, and housing.

1K For Kids
1K For Kids 2025

What an incredible event in 2025! Under the theme “Abundant Joy, Like the Palm Trees of the Dominican Republic,” we came together once again to walk, donate, and change lives. In 2025, we continued to grow and expand our impact on education, healthcare, and housing for children in need.

With your help we’re making an impact

“The construction and installation of the play area has contributed significantly to the integral development of the boys and girls of our Centro de Bienestar Infantil (CBI). It favors the development of the gross psychomotor area of each boy and girl, contributing to socialization and companionship.”

– Jeamileth Marroquín Arriola

“Hosting representatives from Casa de Corazón brings immense joy to us in El Salvador, as it allows them to immerse themselves and understand the reality of the children and the home. They must see firsthand how their contributions are being invested in the well-being of the children.”

– Nora Serrano, National Director of NPH El Salvador
2022

“Casa de Corazón has become a key ally for NPH México, providing unparalleled support since 2022 through a variety of activities, renovations, and memorable movie nights for our youth. Their contribution goes beyond material aid; they have given us friendship and unconditional love for our children and youth. Through events like the 1K For Kids event, Casa de Corazón unites communities with the noble goal of supporting children.”

– Daniel, Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos México
2021

“On behalf of the entire NPH Organization and the children we are privileged to care for, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to you (Jansel) and Casa de Corazón! Your amazing support and partnership will truly help transform lives through the gift of education. On behalf of these children, I cannot be more grateful! I hope to have the opportunity in Minnesota (or in one of our homes) to meet and express my gratitude in person.”

– John Deinhart
2020

“Your support allows us to treat patients, educate the next generation of medical leaders and conduct lifesaving research for the benefit of people everywhere. On behalf of patients near and far as well as the Mayo Clinic staff who work tirelessly to transform innovative ideas into reality, thank you for advancing hope — hope for scientific breakthroughs, for revolutionary treatments, and ultimately, for healing.”

– Mayo Clinic
2019

“Vivimos con mi hermana y sus tres hijos, vivimos muy apretados. Nos gusta que los niños se diviertan y jueguen, pero últimamente se enferman mucho por el contacto con la tierra mojada del suelo de la Casa.  Ahora podrán jugar dentro de la nueva vivienda con un piso seguro gracias a Casa de Corazón.”

– Family Barranco Llanos, Techo Colombia Team
2018

“Thank you Casa de Corazón! Special thanks to the volunteers, families, sponsors, performing artists, and key members of the Casa de Corazón Community, that worked together to raise the funds in 2018, at the 1K for Kids, for TECHO- Guatemala with $17,672.38. You all contributed to the build of the homes for 12 of the families that had lost everything at the volcano eruption.”

– Ana Maria Duque, Director of Community Experience at TECHO US
