Noah's HART
What is Noah's Hart?
Noah's Heart is a foundation that is dedicated to providing art supplies to vulnerable populations that need it. This organization is started by me, Ben Ragon, in memory of my older brother Noah. Noah was a kind and compassionate soul that loved two things: Creating beautiful art, and helping those who needed it most. Noah would do this by playing with lonely kids at recess, standing up to bullies, or even keeping a classmate company for three weeks while she recovered from a broken leg. Noah's passion for social justice is the inspiration for this work.
Tragically, Noah was taken from us in 2017 in a hiking accident. Noah's purpose was never forgotten, and now, I've decided to combine Noah's passions to create Noah's Hart. Noah's Hart will help anybody who has a passion for art but cannot afford it. By gathering art supplies and sending it out to kids and families in need, I hope to uphold Noah's legacy.
Because even through something terrible, we are committed to helping our community make something beautiful.

Noah's Story
Noah was born on January 31, 2009. From the second he was born, he would brighten up any room he walked into. He was one of the nicest, funniest and most animated people I have ever known. He loved having fun, nature and spending time with me and my family. He also loved adventure, so when I was 5 and he was 8, we went to my favorite place in the world, a little town up in the mountains called Redstone. That morning my parents were planning on going for a hike at a place called Hanging Lake. I didn’t want to go, but my brother Noah did. He, with my parents, outvoted me 3 to 1. So we packed up the things we needed and hit the road. None of us knew it yet, but that was the last time we were going to take a car ride with my brother.
After that horrible event when that rock fell and hit my brother on the head, my life, and the lives of those around me, were torn apart, the absence of his amazing personality burning a hole in our hearts. Noah was a great person, and everyone who knew him will forever fell his love and kindness, of which will never fade.
