This year’s gala is hosted by Dr. Kim Eagle, Albion Walter Hewlett Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan, and honors the MI-Aorta Clinic at University of Michigan Health for its care and commitment to patients and families.

The program will feature Voices for Victory, a moment to hear from sisters Carly and Sydney Lerman, whose family has been part of the Marfan Foundation community for more than 20 years. Carly, a University of Michigan alumna, started the Sydney Lerman Hospitality Program at age 13, which has grown into a major Foundation program. Their story is one you won’t want to miss!

The Heartworks Gala Michigan is a celebration of community, resilience, and the heart behind our mission, set at one of the most iconic venues in college football.
