Heartland Jam began as a dream of Loren Arp in 2007. On October 1, 2010, Loren was severely burned in a combine explosion, landing him in the University of Iowas burn treatment center for 40 days before succumbing to his injuries. While in the hospital, he expressed his desire for the festival to still take place and that is why we are here today. The Loren Arp Memorial Foundation was established in the summer of 2011 with the mission to assist children in the University of Iowa's burn treatment center and their families with the financial burden of going though such rigorous treatment. With the help of this newly formed Foundation, we hope to allow the children and their families to concentrate on their treatment and rehab and not worry about some of the everyday expenses of being in the unit. A significant portion of the net proceeds from the Heartland Jam Music Festival will go directly to the Loren Arp Memorial Foundation to assist with the goal of the Foundation.
