Description

Join us on Friday, May 30 for our 2nd Annual Woodruff Golf Classic at the Simsbury Farms Golf Course in Simsbury, CT! This event is an annual tradition aimed at raising awareness and funds for individuals who bravely face the daily challenges of living with heart failure. Last year’s event raised $25,000 for heart failure patients and families!

Brad Woodruff is a true inspiration who has confronted life with unmatched courage. Despite facing the daily hurdles of heart failure, Brad and his incredible wife Shaelin are determined to make a difference. They have decided to channel their strength and love into a cause that extends beyond their personal journey – the HeartBrothers Foundation. By hosting this golf tournament, the Woodruffs aim to raise funds and awareness for heart health, inspiring others to join the fight against heart failure.

The HeartBrothers Foundation was founded in 2014 by two heart transplant survivors and is dedicated to helping heart failure patients and their families navigate the complicated world of heart failure, from early-stage heart failure to Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and heart transplantation. Our sole mission is to bring support resources together to help disadvantaged heart failure patients and their loved ones survive life with heart failure and all its challenges. HBF’s unique approach trains heart failure survivors and caregivers to become mentors and peer health educators and leverages our strong relationships with hospitals to connect new heart failure patients with Team HeartBrothers and our multitude of resources. We offer support groups for patients and caregivers, patient education opportunities, peer mentorship, an Annual Symposium, and direct financial support for heart failure patients experiencing financial hardship. We also provide designated low-cost, short-term housing (HeartBrothers House) which provides stability for heart failure patients as they travel to Boston’s heart failure care facilities to receive critical care. Our dedicated team pours their lived experience into providing resources, hope, and connection for heart failure patients enduring some of the most challenging times of their lives.

All proceeds from this event will go directly to the HeartBrothers Foundation and will fund critical research, provide resources, and offer much-needed assistance to those navigating the challenges of heart-related illnesses. Participate as a golfer, sponsor at one of our many levels, contribute an auction item, or simply donate a small amount – every contribution counts. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those battling heart failure. To learn more, visit: www.heartbrothers.org/woodruff-golf.
