59th Heart Ball Addressing Luncheon

As evidenced by the checkered flags that were prominently displayed at the Sept. 17 Addressing Luncheon, the 59th Annual Heart Ball is closing in on the finish line. The committee met at Mountain Shadows Resort to stuff invitations for the Nov. 17 black-tie affair at the Phoenician and then enjoyed a fashion show and luncheon.

After guests were seated for lunch, Tim Braun, vice president and general manager of Neiman Marcus Scottsdale, presented fashions by Oscar de la Renta on the runway. Then a salad of shaved apples and sliced chicken on lettuce was served. Braun’s birthday was celebrated with a surprise cake.

Carolyn Jackson, chair of the 2018 Heart Ball, thanked Mountain Shadows Resort, sponsors, guests, committee members and past Heart Ball chairmen for their support of the Heart Ball and the American Heart Association. She also announced Carolyn Ross as the recipient of the Peggy Goldwater Award. In addition to Jackson, the executive committee includes Kristine Thompson, chairman-elect; Ingrid Haas and Sylvia Shoen, vice chairmen; Sweetheart Beth McRae; and Nan and CA Howlett, honorary chairmen.

Since 1959, under the leadership of Peggy Goldwater, the Phoenix Heart Ball committee has been committed to raising funds supporting the American Heart Association.
