Each spring, we party with a purpose in celebration of Odayin heart heroes at the Have a Heart Benefit presented by Abbott. In 2025, Odayin campers rocked the event, singing karaoke with a live band before the microphone was passed over to benefit guests. Join us on April 18, 2026 to support our mission at the 25th annual Have a Heart Benefit at Quincy Hall in Minneapolis. (The benefit is a 21+ event).
