The Mesquite Heart Board is pleased to announce our 7th Annual Gala promoting heart health and supporting our neighbors.With your help, Mesquite Heart Board can continue to support community access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and provide CPR/AED education through the Mesquite community. We can work collaboratively to make a difference by educating our neighbors on heart disease and stroke.

Thanks to our generous 2025 sponsors and donors, we've been able to increase the number of AEDs in our community by 14, provide 3 AED/CPR certification courses, and offer heart health information to local businesses. Thirteen of those AED units will be placed in a City of Mesquite police cruiser. We recognize that our Mesquite police officers are trained in CPR but do not have access to the next level in heart related rescue, defibrillation using an AED. Early defibrillation can double the chance of survival in the event of cardiac arrest in the community. This reflects the Mesquite Heart Board's goal to place an AED in each Mesquite police cruiser. We have a long way to go and continue to depend on your generosity. The Board will continue to provide grants and training within the community as well.

Please join us on February 7, 2026, as we present life-saving awards, listen to a survivor's story, announce AED grant recipients, participate in a silent auction and games, and enjoy for dinner and dancing to the tunes of DJ Gil Palmer of KEOM. Each guest will receive 2 complimentary drink tickets at the bar.

The Gala will be held at The Alexander Ballroom, 2021 N Town East Blvd Suite 1100, Mesquite, 75150, on Saturday, February 7, 2026. Doors open at 6:45 pm for all guests. VIP guests are invited to join us at 6:00 pm. Dinner will begin at 7:00 pm.
