💙 Join us for an unforgettable night of community, compassion, and support for the HeartBrothers Foundation. The O’Brien Benefit returns with everything you love—great food, live music, raffle prizes, a full buffet dinner, and powerful stories of resilience. This year’s headliner, JamKat, will bring an incredible live performance to cap off an inspiring evening. Every dollar raised directly supports heart-failure patients and their families on their heart-failure and transplant journeys. This year’s event carries special meaning as we gather in honor of Danny Donahoe—a devoted fireman, loving father, and courageous heart-transplant recipient we lost earlier this year. Danny’s strength, service, and remarkable spirit embody the very heart of our mission, and his legacy will be felt throughout the night.

Failing Hearts Need Helping Hands
About us
Founded in 2014, the HeartBrothers Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation dedicated to helping Heart Failure patients and their families navigate the complicated financial world of Heart Failure, Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs), and Heart Transplantation. Our mission is to fill gaps for patients by offering them essential support through medical insurance assistance programs, informative stress-coping resources, and connections to the global Heart Failure community. We are the HeartBrothers Foundation. We have a unique perspective on heart failure after more than 30 combined years experience living with heart failure, including two years in the hospital. Our first-hand understanding of the overwhelming physical, mental and financial stresses that affect heart failure patients and their loved ones is why we’ve dedicated our lives to helping heart failure patients navigate the many gaps that exist in their care. Through our fundraising efforts, heart disease charities, and the generous donations of individuals and corporations like you, we help fill the gaps for heart failure patients via financial contributions (lodging, transportation, meals), medical insurance assistance programming, informative stress-coping resources, and peer-to-peer support. We also focus our efforts on increasing awareness about heart failure to the general public and forging connections within the global heart failure community.
