Austin Red Hot Summer Night

Join us for an electrifying night where passion meets purpose. Annually, a class of passionate, charitable, and hard-working young professionals come together as HeartThrob Honorees. These rising stars are making a difference in their careers and in the community. They each put together a dynamic fundraising campaign to support the American Heart Association, culminating in an exciting, can't miss event that celebrates the collective impact of Young Professionals on the health of the Austin Community.

For more than 100 years, the American Heart Association has made bold moves to save lives and pioneer scientific discoveries. We haven’t done it alone. We reach our goals working with organizations and individuals who share our vision for better health. The Young Professionals with Heart campaign unites supporters with a shared purpose to raise the critical funds we need to ensure our work continues.

The Need is Clear
Since the American Heart Association’s founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. Recently, death rates have worsened, and access gaps have widened. Solutions are not getting to the people who need them the most. We are committed to change that.

2028 Impact Goal
Building on over 100 years of trusted leadership in cardiovascular and brain health, by 2028 the American Heart Association will drive breakthroughs and implement proven solutions in science, policy and care for healthier people and communities. The greatest discoveries in health must reach people where they are.
