Our Story
Founders
Two Friends, One Purpose
Heart for Kids Foundation began with a friendship that spans more than 15 years and a shared belief that we have a responsibility to bring people together, create opportunities, and make a difference in the lives of others.
Over the years, our friendship grew into something much more. Our families celebrated life's milestones together, vacationed together, and watched our children grow up side by side. Today, even our adult children still enjoy spending time together—a reminder that the values of friendship, family, and community can span generations.
As our friendship grew, so did our conversations about the kind of legacy we hoped to leave and the impact we wanted to have on the communities that had given so much to us.
From that shared vision, Heart for Kids Foundation was born.
Built on Friendship. Created to Give
Heart for Kids Foundation brings together people, purpose, and possibility. Through partnerships with outstanding charitable organizations—and through future Heart for Kids Foundation initiatives—we strive to create opportunities for individuals, businesses, community leaders, and supporters to come together and improve the lives of children and families.
We also believe it's our responsibility to lead by example for our children and grandchildren. Our hope is that Heart for Kids Foundation becomes more than something we founded. We hope it becomes a tradition of service that future generations of our families—and many others—will proudly carry forward.
The Story Continues...
Every child deserves the opportunity to dream, grow, and succeed. Every family deserves hope. And every community becomes stronger when people come together with a shared purpose.
We're just getting started.
