Our heart is providing support, advocacy, and awareness for organ donation.

A 501(c)3 charity, the Billy Moon Foundation honors fallen FDNY firefighter Billy Moon. The heart of our mission is providing support, advocacy, and awareness for organ donation across the country, while offering financial assistance to donor and recipient families. By sharing our story and engaging the community, we ensure that donated funds help families with essential needs—such as food, travel, and lodging—throughout their organ donation and transplant journey.

Organ donation can have a profound impact on not just a recipient, but donors and communities as well.

Support

The Service Never Ends:
A Legacy that Saves Lives.

Billy Moon, a lifelong dreamer and devoted FDNY firefighter, spent 21 years serving New York City and 28 years volunteering in the Islip Fire Department, rising to Chief of Department. Known for his huge smile, big personality, and unwavering dedication to helping others, Billy was also a loving husband and father of two. After a tragic firehouse fall in December 2022, he gave his final gift through organ donation, saving five lives, and the Billy Moon Foundation honors his legacy by  supporting organ donor and recipient families with essential needs and raising awareness of the lifesaving power of donation.

Tomorrow is National Donor Day!

Stories like this are why it matters.
Behind every transplant is a donor, a family, and a second chance at life. We are honored to support families navigating that journey, but none of it is possible without the generosity of organ donors.

❤️This Donor Day, we celebrate the lives saved, the families supported, and the heroes who said “yes.”

There is no “right way” to grieve.

And there is no simple way to become a donor family.
It’s a decision made in heartbreak, one that saves lives while forever changing your own.

To every donor family: your love continues in ways you may never fully see. And it matters more than words can say.

💚 Share this to honor a donor family today.

❤️ February 6 is Wear Red Day, a powerful reminder that women’s heart health matters.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, yet many symptoms go unnoticed or dismissed. Awareness saves lives, and so does action.

Today, we wear red to honor prevention, education, and the life-saving impact of organ donation when it’s needed most.

Join us!

🔥National Burn Awareness Week is a reminder that safety doesn’t start in an emergency, it starts with preparation.

As a firefighter, Billy believed in training, awareness, and doing the work before it was needed. These fire safety tips reflect that mindset, because prevention saves lives.
