Each year high school sophomores from the Tulsa area come alongside the American Heart Association through our Heart Ball program.  These students learn how to be champions for heart health.  Through CPR and healthy cooking classes they learn how to save lives and improve health.  They also give back to our community through fundraising and community service projects.  The Tulsa Heart Ball gala is the celebration of their work.  It is a Tulsa tradition celebrating its 48th year with our event on February 9, 2019.


Since 1949, the American Heart Association has funded more than $3.4 billion in research to fight heart disease and stroke - more than any U.S. organization outside the government.  We're a trusted leader in the worlds of science and medicine, funding the work of 13 Nobel Prize winners during their careers.  The research we've supported has led to breakthroughs that have saved countless lives including the first artificial heart valve, the implanted pacemaker and CPR techniques and guidelines.  Since 1951, the AHA has funded more than $31 million of research in Oklahoma. 

Every donation is meaningful and brings us closer to our mission of reducing death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Please consider helping today!

My grandfather, Jack Staiger, battled heart disease for over eight years. He recently passed away in January of 2014. One of my most memorable moments was taking him to a Cleveland Indians baseball game while he was receiving treatment from the Cleveland Heart Clinic. This clinic has been ranked number one in the nation for cardiology and heart surgery for over 21 years. While he was under the care of the Cleveland Clinic, I realized this disease affects so many people around the world daily. I also realized this isn't just an old person's disease and that even now as teenagers, we can begin producing heart-healthy habits and incorporating them into our daily lives. 

I would like to ask you to please help me raise money for the American Heart Association's mission.
