SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Over 500 people will gather at the Hall of Springs on Saturday for the 30th annual Capital Region Heart Ball presented by Albany Medical Center.
Dr. R. Mark Sullivan, the president emeritus of The College of Saint Rose, and Dr. Neil Devejian, Albany Medical Center's pediatric cardiology surgeon, will be honored at the 2013 Heart Ball.
"Dr. Sullivan survived a stroke, largely because of scientific discoveries made in the past 30 years. Dr. Devejian uses the latest technology to save the youngest lives affected by heart disease and stroke. I am honored to chair the event that brings the community together to make certain those advances continue well beyond the next 30 years," said Mr. Barba, chair of the 2013 Capital Region heart Ball.
At the moment, there are $1.2 million in American Heart Association research grants in the Capital Region. The Heart Ball celebrates the giving that fuels AHA research and programs designed to prevent heart disease before it starts, and to help survivors thrive.
The event will be held at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. NEWS10's Elisa Streeter will emcee.
