For more than 100 years, the American Heart Association has made bold moves to save lives and pioneer scientific discoveries. We haven’t done it alone. We reach our goals working with organizations and individuals who share our vision for better health. The Heart of Corpus Christi campaign unites supporters with a shared purpose to raise the critical funds we need to ensure our work continues. Throughout our campaign, we celebrate our milestones, we thank our sponsors, and we honor our heroes. We come together to achieve something bigger than ourselves. We live fierce and fight for all.

The stars at night will be big and bright at our 2026 Corpus Christi Heart Ball! 🌟💖
