Diamond Anniversary: Phoenix Heart Ball hosts 60th annual fundraising event

Posted
The 60th Annual Phoenix Heart Ball took place Nov. 23, raising much-needed funds for heart health. The ball was led by Chairman, Kristine Thompson, and her executive team, with the annual event being held at The Phoenician Resort, 6000 E. Camelback Road. This year’s theme was “Know Your Numbers.” The Heart Ball Committee works throughout the year to prepare for the ball, hosting luncheons and other events to raise awareness and funds in the name of the American Heart Association. The 60th Heart Ball Executive Committee consists of Chairman Kristine Thompson, Vice Chairmen Charlene Berge-Blum and Amanda Garmany, Sweetheart Sandy Magruder, Honorary Chairmen Priscilla and Michael Nicholas, and Chairman-Elect Jennifer Moser. The Phoenix Heart Ball lends a voice to heart disease by raising funds and awareness for vital community programs, professional education and research that benefits the American Heart Association. It started with Peggy Goldwater, wife of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, at the Jerry Lewis Koko Theater Restaurant in 1959. Her pledge to fundraise, coordinate and host the most lavish soiree at that time held true. Today, 60 years later, the Phoenix Heart Ball has grown to be one of the most anticipated galas benefiting the American Heart Association. For more information visit phoenixheartball.heart.org.
