2016 Denver Heart Ball
Saturday, February 27, 2016
A Celebration of creating and sharing. Our evening celebrates our work and mission, our donors and volunteers, and — most importantly — the lives saved and improved because of everyone’s effort. The Heart Ball promises to be an engaging evening of fun and passion bringing community and philanthropic leaders together. Last year, our Heart Ball campaign raised just over $71 million nation-wide allowing us to fund life-saving research and prevention programs in our community and across the country.
A Stroke of Red. This year's event is focused on bringing awareness and recognizing the signs of stroke. Funds raised through the 17th Annual Denver Heart Ball supports many local efforts in Colorado. Some of the incredible things our Denver Office does each year with funds raised through the Heart Ball include:
- Investing $9.5 million in cardiovascular research in Colorado
- Working with all local hospitals to strengthen patient care standards
- Enlisting 100+ healthcare & EMS volunteers to speed care for heart attack patients
- Providing school programming for nearly 250,000 local children
- Providing 40,000 materials to teach CPR & Emergency Cardiovascular Care
