The virtual event will feature live and silent auctions, inspiring patient stores, and a theme of denim-and-diamonds. The annual event is in its 29th year of raising funds to support congenital heart research and families of children with life-threatening heart conditions.
The virtual gala starts at 7 p.m. EST. Attendance is free, but registration is required at victors.us/umsaveaheart.

Attendees are encouraged to buy a meal or snacks from one of the restaurants and catering partners listed at victors.us/sah2022partners to support those who have made the gala such a meaningful and impactful event over the years.
