Meet Luca, our 2026 Heart Warrior Recipient!

Luca is a brave little fighter who has faced monumental medical challenges since the very beginning of his life. Born with critical heart complications, Luca has spent countless days in hospital beds surrounded by monitors, tubes, and comforting friends like his favorite sloths and the hospital's "Wonder Bear." Despite every obstacle thrown his way, Luca continues to face his journey with incredible strength, resilience, and a bright smile.

By participating in or donating to this year's Hoop For Your Heart event, you are directly supporting Luca and local heart families who walk this courageous path. Together, let's honor our Heart Warrior!
