We are LIONHARDT. Providing awareness & financial support to all first responders battling critical illness or injury.

We are a 501(c)(3) organization established in honor of fallen firefighter, our brother Donovan Eckhardt. When a persistent and unapologetic cancer took hold of Donovan, he gave commission to a close group of friends to carry forward his legacy and demonstrate the benevolence of his character to those families that would face similar challenges. The premise of this charge was simple; to give help where it is needed, quickly and without hazard. This challenge gave rise to Lionhardt and lives in the hearts of all those who have volunteered, donated and educated on its behalf. A volunteer Board of Directors provides the effective and efficient platform woven into the organization’s charter. This guiding principle, coupled with our recognition as a not-for-profit charity, allows us to move financial support to first responder families quickly…meeting their immediate needs. Today, the Lionhardt family carries the flag forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our comrades in their critical illness journey.
