Welcome to website of The Barbara Ann Iadanza Heart Foundation!

This Foundation was created in honor of our beautiful mother Barbara, who passed away on August 7, 2001. We believe through the activities of this Foundation we will celebrate our moms spirit, love of life, and kindness and joy that she embodied. Barbara's Heart Foundation will host its first major fundraiser this summer, but collects donations all year long to fund our educational and giving initiatives. True to our mission statement, we bring Foundation efforts to Long Island, NY, where Barbara lived and where her family and friends still keenly feel her loss. We also branch out to neighboring communities where we are trying to make an impact on the lives of so many individuals who suffer from heart related illnesses.

Please visit other pages on our site for more information on how we’re changing lives and celebrating our beloved mom through this Foundation’s work.

A happy, healthy and loving heart is Barbara's Heart Foundation’s highest priority.
