The TJ DiMarco Foundation was born from love, loss, and the unshakable belief that one story can save another.

When we lost TJ DiMarco to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)—a silent, genetic heart condition we didn’t even know he had—it changed our lives forever. But in that grief, we found a mission: to raise awareness, drive early detection, and fund research through the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA), so that no other family has to suffer the same unimaginable heartbreak.

The Foundation exists not just to honor TJ’s memory, but to carry his light forward. He was a man who showed up for everyone—family, friends, coworkers, and his community. And now, we show up for him by giving this cause a voice.

Through fundraising events like our annual golf outing, we’re building something bigger than a day on the course—we’re building awareness, connection, and change. We are advocates, educators, and a support system for those impacted by HCM. Every dollar raised goes directly toward HCMA’s life-saving efforts, from community education to genetic testing access.

We know first-hand how crucial early detection can be. TJ’s passing led to his daughter’s genetic testing—and because of that, she now receives the care she needs. This is why our mission matters.

The TJ DiMarco Foundation is more than a tribute—it’s a promise. A promise to protect families. A promise to amplify the urgency around HCM. And a promise to keep TJ’s legacy alive through action, compassion, and heart.
