On Saturday, February 10, 2018 the American Heart Association (AHA) will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Greater Des Moines Heart Ball co-chaired by Bob Ritz, CEO of Mercy Health Network, and Eric Crowell, CEO of UnityPoint Health-Des Moines.  The Greater Des Moines Heart Ball continues to raise needed funds to enable groundbreaking advancements in such areas as research, tobacco control, obesity prevention, and most importantly, the prevention and treatment of heart disease and stroke. With your continued support, the AHA can continue to build healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Together, we can continue making a difference in our community!

I am asking you to join the American Heart Association with its mission to fight back against the devastating effects of heart disease and stroke by donating.
