This year the focus of the American Heart Association’s research efforts is in the area of congenital heart defects. About 36,000 children are born with a heart defect each year. The American Heart Association along with our proud sponsors Union Bank and Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Program at Saint Agnes want to give countless families hope for the future. Place your name among some of the Central Valley’s most influential individuals in our community.  Your support of this event not only funds life saving research, but brings awareness to our community that heart disease is the nation’s number one killer.
    Without community leaders, we would be unable to look toward the future believing in a world free from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. 
    We would like to thank the following generous donors who have contributed to the 2011 Central Valley Heart Ball.
