Heart of Houston - American Heart Association

American Heart Association’s Houston Chapter is pivoting from the annual, glamorous Heart Ball to an exciting digital experience – Heart of Houston. Join the heart-healthy organization on Thursday, February 11, 2021 for a lively and festive virtual event supporting and celebrating the mission of the American Heart Association and their collective success in driving change, funding science and improving behaviors. The new Heart of Houston campaign takes philanthropic efforts beyond the ballroom, working daily to help every heart, improve the struggles of our neighbors and increase the impact of community partners.

Guests can dress up in ball gowns and tuxes or cozy up in their loungewear and enjoy this signature event from the comfort of their own homes. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy delicious bites and decadent sips delivered to their doors as they tune-in to the digital experience featuring heartfelt conversations with event chairs, Lisa and Jerry Simon. Virtual attendees will also have the chance to bid on luxury live and silent auctions items, as well as a case of 100 point wines and other delectable finds in the wine auction.

Ahead of the event, on Thursday, February 4, 2021, AHA will host a virtual VIP Reception where sponsors and supporters can come together to learn more about the organization and the work they are doing to drive its mission. VIP attendees will have the opportunity to participate in break out Zoom groups to meet doctors and researchers that AHA is funding, as well as get an exclusive first look at the auction items that will be offered at the Heart of Houston event.
