Thank you all for your patience as we navigated how to fundraise during COVID.  Our annual 5K race and gala were suspended out of respect for everyone’s safety and health, and in close coordination with Johns Hopkins.  The Hebda Foundation was able to continue to make annual donations to Johns Hopkins throughout the pandemic due to your continued support and donations!

We are thrilled to say that we are re-energizing in 2024!  We would love to see you on 5 October from 5-9 pm at the Crooked Crab Brewing Company (8251 Telegraph Road, Suite D, Odenton, MD 21113) for a casual evening of live music, raffles, silent auctions and craft beer.  Childhood cancer did not stop through the pandemic – and we can’t either!  Can’t wait to see you all!
