The American Heart Association marked "99 Years of Saving Lives" at the annual Heart Ball on Feb. 24 at the Rogers Convention Center. The benefit s 850 guests helped the nonprofit organization raise some $850,000 to help support its mission to be "a relentless force for a world of longer healthier lives," Andi Clinton, corporate market director for the Heart Ball, tells me. Sheila Gamble of Sanofi and Vinima Shekhar of Walmart served as this year s Heart Ball chairwomen.
