Open Your Heart

A Moment That Will Stay With You
When Bill Parmelee collapsed without warning, it was the quick action of bystanders—and the power of CPR—that brought him back. At this year’s Heart Ball, you’ll witness his incredible story of survival, courage, and community. It’s a reminder that every heartbeat matters—and that together, we can save lives.

Together with you, we are living fierce—channeling heartfelt intensity into advocating, motivating and educating people so they are empowered to live longer, healthier lives.

Join us as we live fierce and fight for a healthier community.

Open Your Heart and make your gift today. Join us in breaking down barriers and inspiring the hearts you love to live happier, healthier and longer.
