Joe Beretta Heart Foundation

Joe Beretta Heart Foundation Providing emergency housing, emotional support and stability in crisis for advanced heart failure patients and their families.

An advanced heart failure patient's only hope for survival is a heart transplant or a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD), but most must travel an hour or more from their home to receive care. If patients are unable to afford the many costs associated with travel and lodging, they're left to make the impossible choice between hospice and medical homelessness. If no one steps in to help, their story wi

ll end in tragedy. Together, we have an opportunity to change a family forever. Because we believe no one should suffer alone, we provide emergency housing, short term financial assistance, holiday outreach, hospital comfort bags, hospital visitation teams and more. To partner with us, visit www.TheJoeBerettaFoundation.com. Joe Beretta was a loving husband, father, son, brother and uncle, a gifted mentor and a true Renaissance man. The Joe Beretta Foundation was established to honor his legacy of generosity and love.

When it comes to health, too many men live by the phrase: "I'll get it checked out later."

Unfortunately, "later" can sometimes be too late.

Research consistently shows that men are more likely to delay medical care because they're busy, don't have symptoms, fear receiving bad news, or believe they can "tough it out."

But many serious conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart failure, can develop silently for years before symptoms appear.

Heart disease remains one of the leading health threats facing men today.

That's why regular checkups matter, and could look like:
• Annual physicals
• Blood pressure screenings
• Cholesterol checks
• Discussions about family history and risk factors

These appointments can identify problems early, improve treatment outcomes, and add years to your life.

At the Joe Beretta Heart Foundation, we've seen firsthand how heart disease and heart failure impact not only patients, but entire families. This Men's Health Month, we encourage the men in our community to make themselves a priority.

Because taking care of your health isn't just about you.

It's about being there for the people who love you.

Schedule the appointment. Ask the questions. Take care of your heart.

As we reflect on this year's Dinner In The Vines Benefiting Joe Beretta Heart Foundation, presented by Vanderbilt Health, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

Because of an incredible community of supporters, sponsors, volunteers, donors, and friends, we welcomed more than 400 guests, partnered with 15+ generous sponsors, and raised an astounding $375,000+ to support heart failure patients and caregivers.

In one night, we experienced hundreds of auction bids, donations, conversations, and acts of generosity that came together to create something truly extraordinary.

But beyond the numbers are the families whose lives will be changed because of this night.

Caregivers will have a safe place to stay near the hospital.

Families will receive nourishing meals during difficult seasons.

Patients will know they are not facing their journey alone.

To every guest who attended, every sponsor who believed in our mission, every volunteer who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and every donor who gave so generously: thank you.

Ten years ago, the Joe Beretta Heart Foundation was founded on a promise to honor Joe's legacy by helping families facing advanced heart failure. Because of you, that promise continues to grow.

This was more than a fundraiser. It was a celebration of compassion. A testament to community.

And a reminder that when people come together, hope happens.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Dinner in the Vines 2026 our most impactful event yet.

Our 2026 Dinner in the Vines, presented by Heart, was more than an elegant evening; it was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community gathers with heart.

We are especially grateful for our incredible Event Chairs, Christine and Kevin New, whose leadership, creativity, and tireless dedication made this evening unforgettable.

Additionally, last weekend could never have happened without the massive support from our volunteers and sponsors. Your vision brought beauty and impact together in the most meaningful way.

Because of this extraordinary community, Dinner in the Vines has grown from 75 attendees to over 400!

We’re still finalizing the numbers, but one thing we already know for certain: together, we broke a JBHF fundraising record!

If you weren’t able to attend, there is still time to be part of Saturday’s legacy.

Help us cross the finish line and continue providing hope in hospital hallways and homes far from home.
