What is Open Your Heart:
There are moments in life that we wish we could freeze in time. We live them. What is life if we cannot experience these moments of joy, wonder, and happiness? At the American Heart Association, we want people to experience more of life’s precious moments. It’s why we’ve made better heart and brain health our mission. And together we’ve made an extraordinary impact. But we are just beginning. Until there’s a world free of heart disease and stroke, we’ll be here, working to make a healthier, longer life possible for everyone.
The San Antonio Heart Ball celebrates our work and mission; our donors and volunteers; and most importantly, the lives saved and improved because of everyone’s collective efforts. Through the San Antonio Heart Ball’s Open Your Heart Campaign, YOU can make a significant impact in our community by making a personal gift directly to the American Heart Association’s mission.
Your generosity enables the American Heart Association to fund groundbreaking research, develop guidelines to improve patient care and help people lower their risk factors for heart disease and stroke. All to ensure everyone has a chance to live a healthier, longer life.
