A Message from Our Chair
It's my distinct pleasure to serve as chair of the 18th annual Crystal Heart Gala.  The tremendous financial support the association provides the University of Louisville for heart and stroke research, and the fact that the association invests more in Kentucky than it brings in, are but two reasons why I decided to chair the Gala.  Heart disease continues to be the number-one killer of our citizens and your support of the Gala will help insure that the association is able to continue to fund research, public health and education efforts critical to its mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.  I look forward to seeing you on February 27, 2010 at the best Heart Gala in history!
