CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — This year's Corpus Christi Heart Ball is virtual instead of in person, but the goal of the event does not change.
The event is a fundraiser for the American Heart Association that helps fund research for cardiovascular disease.
The virtual event is Saturday, March 20 at 6:00 p.m. and will run until 7:30.
While it may have a different feel this year the group will focus on COVID-19 and hypertension and the cardiovascular complications that go along with it.
“This year we're having it virtually and we're still having and auction still raising a lot of money and still gonna have a good time in the safety of our own homes so that we can all celebrate together,” said Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Travis Taylor.
