Virtual 2021 AHA Lincoln Heart Ball Scheduled for March 25

The American Heart Association’s (heart.org/lincolnheartball) 2021 Lincoln Heart Ball, an annual black-tie event, is scheduled on a virtual platform starting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 25. Chaired by Dr. Eric and Annie Crimmins and CHI Nebraska Heart Hospital, the event celebrates the energy, passion, and commitment of donors, healthcare providers, community leaders, sponsors, volunteers, and survivors to raise funds for lifesaving research and education. Funds raised during the event support the fight against cardiovascular diseases—the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States each year.

“The Heart Ball would not be possible without our volunteer leadership, who raise important funds to support our lifesaving mission,” said Nebraska Executive Director Jennifer Redmond.

From humble beginnings in 1924, the American Heart Association has grown into the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. A shared focus on cardiovascular health unites their more than 40 million volunteers and supporters, as well as more than 2,800 employees. Their size and scope ensure that the AHA has real impact. They have invested more than $4.5 billion in research, more than any other U.S. nonprofit organization.
