Rock from the Heart is looking for volunteers to help with a fun, behind-the-scenes fundraising event that supports our work in aortic and heart valve disease awareness and education.

These shifts help make everything else we do possible — from patient education to community events — and they’re powered by a great group of volunteers who keep things running smoothly.

What to Expect:
Volunteers arrive at 7:45 PM for a quick overview and to get set up (Rock from the Heart t-shirt provided). From there, you’ll be part of a team helping with simple, straightforward tasks throughout the evening.

Volunteer Roles May Include:

No experience is needed — just a willingness to jump in and be part of the team. You’ll never be on your own, and we’ll make sure you know exactly what to do.

Why It Matters:
These fundraising events are a key part of how we sustain our mission. Your time helps us continue providing education, building community, and raising awareness about aortic and heart valve disease.

And honestly — it’s a fun night with a great group of people.

Are you a professional or semi-professional photographer, looking for ways to share your time and skills to better the lives of people in your community? Do you love capturing that perfect moment at events? Do you love dogs?

Look no further! We have a big fancy party called the Fetching Ball Gala on April 11 and we would love your help!

We would like you to use your own camera equipment for this role. We will provide you with a shot list before the event.

It would be excellent if you can provide the images to us within a couple of weeks following the event.
