An evening for celebration, the Myrtle Beach Heart Ball cheers works and missions, applauds donors and volunteers and, most importantly, rejoices in the lives improved and saved through the efforts of the American Heart Association. Last year the Heart Ball campaign raised more than $51 million nationwide, which went to funding programs and research. The Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort Conference Center, 1000 Beach Club Drive.
