The Chicago Heart Ball, attended by more than 800 individuals from Chicago’s business, medical and social communities, is the annual black-tie gala benefiting the American Heart Association’s (AHA) life-saving mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The evening’s festivities begin with a pre-event reception that includes an amazing silent auction followed by an elegant dinner, inspiring program, a spectacular live auction and incredible entertainment. 

Over the last thirty years, the Chicago Heart Ball has raised 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.  While we’ve made great progress, there is still work to be done to further the mission of the AHA and impact the lives of the many people that live, work and play in our community.
