The Annual HeARTworks Gala, the Foundation’s largest annual fundraising event is held each year in New York City. Since its inception, HeARTworks has raised nearly $8 million for the NMF’s core programs of research, patient support, public awareness and medical education. HeARTworks Westchester, started in 2008, and HeARTworks St. Louis, started in 2009, are both successful offshoots of the flagship HeARTworks event.
