Guests donned their most fabulous hats (or at least their more fun hats) to get into the spirit at this year’s Heart Ball. The 10th Annual Upstate South Carolina Heart Ball was held at the Poinsett Club in downtown Greenville. It was just beautiful, with white flowers and glass beads shimmering on the tables.

The evening began with cocktails and a silent auction. This was followed by an elegant three-course seated dinner. A live auction created some fervent bidding, but it was all for a good cause.

The evening is designed to celebrate and highlight the success of the year-round campaign. It also raised funds for cardiovascular research, education and advocacy programs. It was a wonderful evening and one that really has heart.
