The Heartland event is grounded with community support as the majority of proceeds (90%) will be split between two benefactors:
- The Phillip R. Dawkins Heart & Vascular Center to be utilized for new integrative medicine services provided to patients at Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center
- Girls on the Run Southwest Indiana, allowing the organization to grant financial assistance to girls from low-economic backgrounds to ensure equitable and inclusive program access.
The remaining 10% goes into the DC Multisport Endowment for succession planning of the organization and future charitable donations.
