Hot Springs Sweetheart Program   

Heart Ball is one of the premier American Heart Association fundraising events both locally and across the nation. Our evening celebrates the lives saved and improved because of everyone’s countless efforts. The Hot Springs Heart Ball features dinner, silent and live auctions, entertainment, and the presentation of the Sweethearts. The event promises to be an engaging evening of fun and passion, bringing community and philanthropic leaders together. 

By attending, you have the opportunity to become a critical part of our mission.

 

 The skills, knowledge and life-lessons that the sweethearts gain during this experience lasts for the rest of their lives. The Hot Springs Sweethearts program was founded in 2007 by Paul and Kathryn Russell. The Russell’s managed to take the most difficult and painful loss of their 2-year old daughter, Caroline Grace, and created a lasting legacy for her through a program that makes a life-long impact on every young woman it touches, as well as the entire Hot Springs Community. Each of these young women goes on to live her life making heart-healthy decisions for herself, her friends, and someday her own children and family.
