LEXINGTON The Central Kentucky Heart Ball was held on Friday, March 1, at the Central Bank Center in Lexington. The American Heart Association celebrated its 100th birthday at the event, which was led by chair couple Chris Roty, president of Baptist Health Lexington, and his wife, Lynn. As an added surprise, Keith Yarber, longtime board trustee and volunteer, announced the 100 Good Men initiative, which consisted of 115 men contributing $1,000 each to raise a total of $115,000, making it the largest individual Open Your Heart gift in the history of the Central Kentucky Heart Ball.
