WELCOME Many of you may not be aware that our oldest daughter was born with a congenital heart defect. We are grateful that she is doing well and living a full life. She is just one of millions of people with cardiovascular disease in our country that the AHA is working so hard to protect. We are blessed with the financial resources that many in similar situations might not have. Right now, in Tulsa we are facing serious issues reaching the city’s most vulnerable population. Not only are heart and stroke patients at higher risk, but they also face higher mortality rates if they contract COVID-19. According to the CDC, serious heart conditions including heart failure, coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and pulmonary hypertension may put people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. When we agreed to chair the 2021 Heart Ball, we never dreamed the country would be facing this pandemic. However, we have been impressed by the AHA’s immediate and impactful response. For more than a century, they have helped people live longer, healthier lives, and today is no different. From the Heart, Hayley & Kevin Vann 2021 Tulsa Heart Ball Chairs

HEART OF TULSA AWARD
AJ Johnson
The Heart of Tulsa Award is given annually to an individual who has made a significant investment
in the health of the Tulsa community. This year, the Award was presented to AJ Johnson. Through
his work with the Tulsa Dream Center, over 10,000 meals have been distributed to North Tulsa
families and students during their Friday drive-thru grocery experience. This has become a place of
hope for so many, including the over 400 boys and girls who participate in the after-school
program.
Last year was Tulsa Dream Center’s 20th Anniversary and when COVID hit, they responded with
hope and love through an outpouring of support from local volunteers and organizations like the
American Heart Association. AJ embodies their motto - “One Person. One Family. One
Community.” – and we are grateful for his contributions to our community.
The 2021 Heart of Tulsa Award is presented by Enduro Pipeline Services.2021 LIVE AUCTION ITEMS

Every year, 1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital
heart defect. For Jamie Eckerd, it was all three of her
children.
Shanley was born in 1995 and had to undergo open-
heart surgery at just 3 days old. She would require
several more surgeries over the next few years.
Bailey was born in 1998 and doctors heard a heart
murmur at his one-year check-up. Because of his
e
enlarged heart, Bailey was forced to sit out during his
junior year of high school football.
Prior to Colt’s birth in 2011, doctors were able to
discover 2 extra holes in his heart during Jamie’s
pregnancy using a test that wasn’t available when
she was pregnant with Shanley and Bailey.
“The more that is raised and the more attention that
we give the Heart Association…the more technology
and…healing that we can do on these children,” said
Jamie.
Tonight you will hear more from Jamie Eckerd and
the impact that heart disease had on her family.
Please consider Opening Your Heart to make a
lifesaving donation toward the mission of the
American Heart Association.SWEE
