This year, the Birmingham Heart Ball honored Randy and Kelly Owen. Randy is best known as the lead singer of the band Alabama, one of the top selling country music groups of all time. He and his wife Kelly have supported numerous charitable causes throughout the years across Alabama and the U.S.
The Heart Ball featured a silent auction, seated dinner, live music and dancing. To date, the Birmingham Heart Ball has raised more than $19 million for local research, advocacy and community education efforts to fight heart disease and stroke, the first and fourth leading killers of Alabamians, respectively. The Birmingham Heart Ball highlights the Association’s impact on the research and treatment of these conditions, as well as local efforts to implement the Association’s mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
The mission of the American Heart Association is to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. The Association is a leading global force for heart and brain health for all.
