The LaBare Foundation was created from both love and loss, honoring the lives of Kelly LaBare and Gene LaBare, whose journeys were tragically cut short by heart conditions. Their stories remind us of the fragility of life, but also of the extraordinary strength found in family, faith, and community. In their memory, we are committed to advancing education and advocacy surrounding heart health—ensuring that individuals and families have the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their health. Through this foundation, we carry forward Kelly and Gene’s legacy of kindness, resilience, and compassion—transforming grief into purpose and creating hope for families touched by heart disease.
