Quarterly Socials
Please join us for our quarterly socials where you can learn more about our mission and hear updates about projects we are doing in the community. We will have speakers to educate on important heart and vascular subjects as well as experts in the field of cardiology to remind us of the importance of having a healthy heart. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres are always served to go along with the fun and fellowship. No reservation required!
Annual Events
Murder Mystery Dinner
Join us for our first Murder Mystery Dinner, June 20, 2024 from 6:00-9:00pm! The rustle of silks and feathers under muted conversation was probably the last thing heard by the tragically and unexpectedly deceased at the Billionaires’ Club Annual Masquerade Ball. With a mystery under each feathery façade, unmasking the killer may be quite a challenge. It’s up to you to determine which partygoer is guilty, bring this crime to justice, and save the party!

Support Friends of Heart with a night of fun at our signature annual event, Black Tie & Blue Jeans presented by West Tennessee Healthcare, on Saturday, August 3rd at the Carl Perkins Civic Center. Dinner, dancing with Memphis’ own G3 Band, live & silent auctions, liquor pull, and more…all to support AED distribution across 19 counties, staff education, clinical research, Jackson’s 4-Minute City initiative, and youth EKG screenings!
