Bend Don't Break Foundation

Our Mission

The Bend Don’t Break Foundation inspires people of all ages to “bend don’t break” during their darkest hours by enriching lives and supporting communities through faith, love and music. 

Our Story

Michael Helmly was a pillar in our community whose life was cut short.  Bend Don’t Break is a non-profit named after an unfinished song that Michael was writing at the time of his death.  Our mission is to complete the song by continuing to carry out his purpose in life which was focused on Faith, Love, and Music.  We are partnering up with local charities whose missions align with Michael’s values.  This year we will be partnering with Healing Hearts in addition to our annual blood drive and scholarship award.
