The Hearts of Valor Black Tie Gala is our signature annual fundraising event dedicated to improving cardiovascular health through education, prevention, and empowerment. The gala honors survivors, uplifts families, and raises essential funding for community screenings, CPR training, youth programs, and mental health initiatives. This elegant evening blends purpose and celebration through live entertainment, powerful storytelling, and meaningful community connection. Every dollar raised stays right here in Tampa Bay to support local families and advance heart health equity.
