Red Shoe Lunch
Please join us for our 15th Annual Red Shoe Lunch. The event will take place on Saturday, February 22, 2025 from 12p-3p at Hyatt Villa Christina | 4000 Summit Blvd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30319.
2025 marks our 15th consecutive year hosting this event. We have done a great job raising awareness about heart disease; however, we have not done the best job raising funds. Prior to securing our non-profit status, all proceeds went to the American Heart Association (AHA). To date we have raised over $21,000 for AHA; however, we haven’t been able to cover the costs for the lunch or raise money for our grassroots efforts (helping those in the communities we live).
Now that we have secured our non-profit status, all proceeds from the lunch will go to the Veronica Blount Memorial Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We will continue to make our annual contribution to the American Heart Association via the Veronica Blount Memorial Fund with AHA.
Our ticket prices for 2025 increased by $15 from 2024. Our supporters can take advantage of the Early Bird ticket sales which will end on January 1, 2025. A portion of all ticket sales will be tax deductible. Please check the ticket details for more information.
