The American Heart Association (heart.org) is proud to share that this year’s Lincoln Heart Ball successfully raised funds and awareness in the local community. The Ball brought hearts together to save lives and strived for equitable health for everyone living in Lincoln. With more than $225,000 raised, funds will support the life saving work of the American Heart Association to fight heart disease and stroke. Co-chaired by Monte Froelich, the event was a culmination of the Heart of Lincoln, an American Heart Association campaign centered around every individual to address critical issues and drive work to equitably improve and save lives for everyone everywhere. The Heart Ball marks a special moment in time to reflect, honor and celebrate the progress made through the determination, dedication and passion of all who support the Heart of Lincoln.

“With a fresh venue and a dedicated Executive Leadership team, the Ball was a great success,” said Froelich. “We cannot wait for next year’s event. Our sights are set even higher!”
