The American Heart Association (AHA) in New Hampshire will hold its Cocktails for a Cause Heart Ball fundraising event on Friday, May 5 at the Manchester Country Club. This year’s event chairs are Chris and Stephanie Sharpe.
“Stephanie and I have been involved with the American Heart Association for many years, but this year we decided we wanted to take a more active role,” said Chris Sharpe. “We believe in the organization’s mission and the life-saving work and are looking forward to celebrating that at this year’s event.”
“As a survivor, I truly believe in the work that the American Heart Association does through research, advocacy and in our local communities,” said Stephanie Sharpe. “I am really excited to be co-chairing this year’s event along with Chris, and am proud to be recognizing all of the work done by the organization’s volunteers.”
