The Have a Heart Charity Ball began as a way for three brothers to introduce their friends to one another and has grown into a fundraiser for three local non-profit organizations. Today, the Have a Heart Charity Ball is produced by young professionals for young professionals. The goal is to give twenty- and thirty-something's the opportunity to enjoy a great time out while giving back to our community.
