What We've Done
Awarded 311 educational scholarships for students to better themselves. We are on track to give out an additional 35 scholarships each year.
Helped 7,158 families to date with over $1,000,000 in financial assistance. This total is strictly for grants to families and does not include other programs.
Supplied camping items for Camp Joyful Hearts in previous years. Each camper received a backpack, umbrella, rain poncho, flashlight, ball cap, camera, beach ball, and beach towel with the Aubrey Rose Foundation logo on them.
In previous years, hosted an annual Hopeful Hearts for Children themed picnic complete with decorations, crafts, and dinner so that families of “Heart Kids” can start to build lasting relationships.
Our “Aubrey’s Angels” team for the Heart Mini-Marathon for the American Heart Association has raised over $100,000 to help wipe out the #1 killer – heart disease, and the #3 killer – strokes.

The Aubrey Rose Foundation was one of the founding members of Ohio’s Workplace Partnership for Life. In April 2001, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G.

This program focuses on engaging businesses, organizations and other places of employment to educate employees about the critical shortage of organs and tissues for transplantation. The Workplace Partnership for Life is truly a win-win campaign in which everyone can play a significant role in recruiting potential organ, tissue, marrow, and blood donors. Read More »
