JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The American Heart Association (AHA) of Metro Jackson held the 2025 Heart Ball on Saturday.

Several volunteers, donors and representatives of the AHA celebrated the hard work and dedication when it comes to raising awareness about heart health. Attendees were able to enjoy a cocktail hour, silent and live auctions and a seated dinner.

“I love seeing all of our volunteers that have worked so far come together and had the opportunity to celebrate. And I’ll say, we get to celebrate a local survivor story tonight, which is always very special. Everything we do is all about improving health and saving lives. And so, tonight is a chance for us to celebrate that,” said Jennifer Hopping, executive director of the AHA.

All funds raised at the Heart Ball will support community impact projects and help improve the health of Mississippians.
