On Friday, February 13, the New Bern community will gather for a cause that reaches far beyond a single evening.
The New Bern Heart Ball brings together local leaders, businesses, and families with a shared commitment to improving heart health, advancing lifesaving research, and supporting the mission of the American Heart Association. Set against the backdrop of The Maola at Riverside, the event is both a celebration of progress and a reminder of the work still ahead to protect the health of our neighbors.
For more than a century, the American Heart Association has driven breakthroughs in cardiovascular care while championing prevention, education, and equitable access to health resources. The Heart Ball continues that legacy locally, turning generosity and awareness into real impact for Eastern North Carolina. It is a night that honors survivors, recognizes community champions, and fuels efforts that help every heart live stronger, longer lives.
Ward and Smith is proud to sponsor the 2026 New Bern Heart Ball and stand alongside the American Heart Association and our community in this important work. Grab your tickets today!
