Greater Cincinnati Heart Ball raises $1.5 million for AHA

The 27th annual Greater Cincinnati Heart Ball raised over $1.5 million for the American Heart Association. Presented by co-sponsors TriHealth and St. Elizabeth Healthcare, the event had an “It Takes a City” theme and focused on the AHA’s community work to fight hypertension in our region.

More than 1,000 attended the ball, which honored Lawrence Griffith, AHA donor and CEO of Digital Factory Inc., with the Heart of the City Award. Griffith’s gift makes possible blood pressure monitoring programs, particularly for the underserved in his hometown Cincinnati.

At the Young Professionals After Party, 350 guests enjoyed music by Soul Pocket and DJ Ron Mixico, light-up party favors, late-night bites and a Framester photo booth.

All proceeds raised from the Heart Ball will fund the American Heart Association’s research, education and public awareness programs to achieve a world with longer, healthier lives.
