The American Heart Association announced its return to the ballroom for the Heart of Greater Des Moines Heart Ball on Saturday, June 11. The event celebrates the AHA’s lifesaving mission, donors, volunteers and, most important, the lives saved and improved because of the association’s efforts. The black-tie social event will take place at the Community Choice Convention Center in Des Moines. The 2021 Heart Ball was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are excited to bring this iconic event back to Des Moines,” said David Stark, president and CEO of UnityPoint Health and co-chair of the Heart of Greater Des Moines Heart Ball. “The Heart Ball not only shines a light on the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association but also brings life to the community.” Sponsorship opportunities and individual tickets are available.
