Heart Healthy Extravaganza Nov. 22nd

[Beachbummette]

On Saturday, November 22nd, Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast will hold a fundraising event for the future Heart and Vascular Services Area.

The event, aptly named A Heart Healthy Extravaganza, will be held at the WaterSound Beach Club located on Scenic Hwy 30-A. It will feature gourmet heart healthy cuisine provided by local chefs, a silent art auction, incredible raffle and great live entertainment. To top it off, 100% of the profits will go directly to the Heart and Vascular capital campaign. We are very excited about this opportunity to join in the vision of expanding Sacred Heart Hospital?s services to the local community.

Tickets for the event will be priced at $125 each - $150 at the door - and VIP tables for 10 may be reserved for $1500. Sponsorship of events, as well as monetary donations of any amount, are always appreciated.


We would like to thank you in advance for helping support this noble cause. The community?s support of this project will truly change the hearts and lives of everyone who lives, works and travels along the Emerald Coast. To make your contribution or for more information on how you can help, please contact Joan Luchese @850-231-9941.

There is also a 5K race planned on Thanksgiving morning (at 8 am) to benefit the same cause - both events are listed on sowal's calendar with more details.

I hope everyone helps spread the word about these two important efforts! Having a heart & vascular center locally is so important! Joan Luchese had done such an incredible job pulling both events together - she's so committed and passionate about this cause.
