Honoring Life and Love at Our Annual Banquet
What a beautiful evening it was. On April 2, 2025, we gathered with friends, supporters, and members of our community for the Heartbeat of Toledo Annual Banquet at the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg. The room was filled with warmth, joy, and purpose as we celebrated the lives touched and transformed through the mission we all share—to provide hope, help, and healing to women and families facing unexpected pregnancies.
From the very first moments of the evening—the smiles exchanged during the cocktail hour, the heartfelt conversations over dinner, and the moving stories shared from the stage—it was clear we were part of something much bigger than ourselves. We were reminded of the power of compassion and community, and how deeply impactful it can be when people come together to support life and family.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this event possible. To our sponsors—your generosity continues to fuel our work and make these gatherings a reality. Your support allows us to offer free services like ultrasounds, parenting classes, and baby essentials to families who need them most.
To our dedicated volunteers, thank you for every hour, every detail, and every welcoming gesture you offered with such kindness. Your behind-the-scenes efforts brought the entire evening to life. And to each guest who joined us—thank you for being present, for opening your hearts, and for standing with us in this mission. Your presence was a gift.
If you weren’t able to attend or would like to revisit the highlights of the evening, we invite you to watch our recap video on YouTube. It beautifully captures the spirit of the event and the incredible community that surrounds Heartbeat of Toledo.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to invite you to our next big event—Dine ‘n Dash 2025, happening on November 20th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg. This unique event blends community, inspiration, and purpose in a way that reflects everything Heartbeat stands for. We hope you’ll save the date and join us for another day of connection and impact.
Thank you again for being a part of our journey. With your continued support, we’ll keep walking alongside women and families—offering them not just services, but hope, dignity, and the knowledge that they are never alone.
