In 2009, the Heart Ball will celebrate 50 years as the premier annual social event and fundraiser in the Valley. Under the direction of Chairman Beth McRae, this years theme, "From Our Hearts to Yours," will embrace the progress of the American Heart Association and the Phoenix Heart Ball in their commitment to save lives from heart disease and stroke. We are excited to debut our new program: Have a Heart for Babies. It will provide benefits ranging from lifesaving CPR for infants to nutrition.

The Phoenix Heart Ball is the oldest and one of the most successful Heart Balls in the nation. Last year, the Phoenix event was one of only 10 Heart Balls nationally to raise over $2 million. This year, the Phoenix Heart Ball committee has set its sights on raising more for cardiovascular research and educational programs in Arizona and beyond, while keeping event expenses under 15 percent. In reaching this goal, the Phoenix Heart Ball will be the country’s most successful fundraising gala for the American Heart Association.
