Bring on the NIGHT! There’s just one legitimate synonym for the American Heart Association’s Heart Ball: Boom Shaka Laka! What a night to celebrate the incredible accomplishments that the American Heart Association has made to improving lives. Time to dance on the tables (er…the dance floor) and donate to this life-saving cause.
What to Wear?
- Black Tie = Formal
- Dresses do not need to be floor length, but they do need to be in the “formal” or “gown” category
- Use Rent the Runway dress rental service to find TOP designer gowns to wear then return! Bonus: Use it now to get 20% off your rental price!
- My dress? It’s from BCBG
What did the Heart Ball Celebrate?
- The American Heart Association’s work and mission
- The American Heart Association’s donors and volunteers
- The lives saved and improved because of everyone’s effort
How Does the Heart Ball Help?
- Fundraising: This year the Heart Ball had a record breaking year and raised over $100,000 in the ballroom thanks to the generous support of those who attended.
- Initiatives: Everything raised will fund The AHA’s life-saving research and prevention programs in our Cleveland community and across the country.
- Connections! It’s always the friends we meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey! Making the night EVEN more fabulous was celebrating with a few incredible Clevelanders. Sara Shookman, the co-anchor of WKYC, is so adorbs and friendly. A few of my fave Cleveland Blogger Babes, The Wardrobe Consultant, Sylvie Style, Why CLE, and interior designer Danielle DeBoe Harper made the night even more amazing!
