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.

Our Mission

2016 Kansas City Heart Ball | Saturday, February 27, 2016

The 29th Annual Heart Ball was held on February 27, 2016, and raised a record-breaking $1.2 million to fund local cardiovascular disease and stroke research, education, and awareness programs. This research benefits those like Winston Wahlgren, congenital heart defect survivor and 2016 honored guest. More than 1100 guests enjoyed cocktails, a gourmet dinner, auctions, and music.

Please save the date for next year's 30th Anniversary Heart Ball on February 25, 2017, chaired by Ray and Jill Kowalik of Burns and McDonnell.
