What is Art for Heart?

Art for Heart is a respected, prominent, black-tie gala with elegant surroundings, a gourmet seated dinner, and outstanding auction items. The contributions raised at Art for Heart directly benefit everyone through the continued funding of biomedical research and ongoing educational programs, resulting in lives saved and enhanced health and wellness throughout our community.

Why Support Art for Heart?

Coronary heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans today. Stroke is the third leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer, and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. All cardiovascular diseases combined claim 1 million lives every year—more than the next 16 causes of death combined and almost twice the number of deaths caused by all forms of cancer. A successful Heart Gala will give us the opportunity to help fulfill the American Heart Association’s commitment to fund the research and education that is critical to reducing heart disease and stroke.
