About Heartbeats Inc.
Heartbeats Inc. was established as a non-profit organization in 2020, but fundraising efforts in the form of an event, Beats for Heartbeats, began in 2019.
The mission of Heartbeats, Inc. is to celebrate the value of every life through the power of Christ. This is accomplished by acting as a conduit to provide support through awareness and fundraising for organizations that aggressively focus their efforts on benefiting abundant life for the most vulnerable, including:
- Pro-Life and Pregnancy Counseling
- Foster Care and Adoption Services
- Combatting Human Sex Trafficking
- Depression Counseling & Suicide/Euthanasia Prevention
Currently,Heartbeats Inc raises funds through an outdoor music festival each Fall in West Bend, WI. Future plans include expansion into other geographies with additional events.
On January 22, 2019 a video came out of New York legislators applauding and cheering their decision to allow abortions up to the moment of birth. This was a catalyst for the founders of Heartbeats Inc and moved them to prayerfully consider how they could make a difference and reach people with God’s word.
With God’s guidance, a decision was made to do a large music event at an outdoor amphitheater. Initial meetings took place in late February 2019 and by early summer an event date was set for the first Beats for Heartbeats concert at Washington County Fair Park on August 10th.
God blessed our efforts and the mission continues to be carried out by a volunteer board of directors. We have become a non-profit organization that supports pro-life efforts in all areas from life at conception, human trafficking, adoption/fostering, and suicide prevention. Heartbeats Inc exists to spread the lifesaving message of God’s love to everyone with uplifting speakers and music.
