The Central Kentucky Heart Ball will be held on Saturday, March 8 at Lexington Center’s Bluegrass Ballroom. Now in its 26th year, this black tie event has helped to advance the lifesaving mission that has impacted the lives of thousands of men, women, and children in the Lexington area.
Corporate and medical professionals will gather to honor survivors and those who made major contributions in cardiovascular research. This year’s ball is chaired by Darby and Charlotte Turner and will honor Warren W. Rosenthal for his community-wide achievements. Guests will enjoy fine dining, dancing, and unique silent and live auction opportunities. All proceeds from the Heart Ball will support the American Heart Association, which funds public and professional education, advocacy, and scientific research.
“This is one of our largest and most important events,” said Mike Turner, special events director for the American Heart Association. “Our survivors will be honored and their physicians spotlighted for their significant lifesaving achievements, which allow the community, donors, and supporters to see the results of the American Heart Association’s research, advocacy, educational programs, and dedication at work.”
