American Heart Association Announces 2022 Greater Columbus Heart Ball

Tuesday, March 15th, 2022

The American Heart Association will host the annual Greater Columbus Heart Ball at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center on April 22, 2022. The black-tie event runs from 6 until 10:30 p.m. 

The Greater Columbus Heart Ball is a celebration of the community’s support of the lifesaving mission of the American Heart Association. The funds raised support local community impact initiatives, research and educational programs in Georgia and around the nation. 

“Heart disease is our number one killer and this year’s Heart Ball will celebrate the work being done to fight it, as well as generate critical philanthropic support to drive the American Heart Association toward its goal of creating longer, healthier lives,” said 2022 Heart of Columbus Chair, Michael Porter.

The event will feature a reception with pre-dinner cocktails and a silent auction. Attendees will also be treated to a seated dinner, heart-warming program, live auction, music and dancing.

“The American Heart Association depends on the commitment of volunteers, sponsors, and donors in our community to help support the important goal of health equity for all.” said Karen Preston, Regional Director. “American Heart Association-funded research has led to many important discoveries like CPR, life extending drugs and surgical procedures that save thousands of lives each year.”

The Heart of Columbus campaign is supported by Platform Sponsor St. Francis-Emory Healthcare and Signature Sponsors Aflac and TSYS Global Payments.  Additional sponsors include Columbus Cardiology Associates, Southeastern Cardiology Associates, Synovus, Truist, Georgia Power, IACT Health, East Alabama Endocrinology, and The Hughston Clinic.
