Giving Hope to Hearts for 16 Years ❤️

Since our founding by Michelle Javian and Yuki Kotani on April 10th, 2009, Harboring Hearts has proudly supported over 3,000 families through our Emergency Fund, touched the lives of 8,000+ individuals through our Community Events, and partnered with 200+ physicians and social workers across 9 hospital partners.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we've raised more than $7 million in support of the cardiac surgery and organ transplant community, bringing hope and healing during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Together, we’re giving hope to hearts everywhere!

Celebrating our 2025 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon Team and welcoming applicants for our 2025 TCS NYC Marathon Team!

During American Heart Month, we celebrate our corporate partner, BridgeBio Pharma, Inc.

In September of 2024, BridgeBio volunteers joined forces to create 300 heartfelt care packages for cardiac surgery and organ transplant patients across all nine of our partner hospitals.

Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients.
