The Power Couple Leading the Charge for Heart Health in Central Arkansas
In a move that is sure to elevate the American Heart Association’s presence in Central Arkansas, Natalie and Jason Ghidotti have been named co-chairpersons for the organization’s 2025 Heart Ball. As the world’s leading voluntary organization focused on heart and brain health for all, the American Heart Association plays a crucial role in combating heart disease and stroke in the region. With the Ghidottis at the helm, the upcoming Heart Ball promises to be a night to remember, filled with fundraising, awareness, and a celebration of the mission to improve heart health throughout the state.
Natalie Ghidotti, founder and CEO of Ghidotti Communications, a Little Rock-based public relations and content marketing agency, brings a wealth of expertise to the table. Her creativity, connections, and passion for the mission of the American Heart Association make her an ideal choice to lead this crucial campaign. Jason Ghidotti, a senior engineer and project manager at Olsson, complements Natalie’s skill set with his thoughtful project management skills and technical innovation. Together, the pair is poised to take the Heart Ball to new heights and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of Arkansans.
A Family Affair: The Ghidotti’s Personal Connection to Heart Health
For Natalie and Jason Ghidotti, the fight against heart disease hits close to home. Their daughter, Corinne, will be a Sweetheart at this year’s Heart Ball, alongside many families they know. The Ghidottis have witnessed firsthand the impact of heart issues on their friends and loved ones, underscoring the importance of raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association’s mission. With heart disease continuing to be the leading cause of death in Arkansas, the Ghidottis are committed to making the 2025 Heart Ball the most impactful yet.
As Gen X parents, Natalie and Jason are acutely aware of the health risks that affect multiple generations. From aging parents facing heart issues to high school students succumbing to peer pressure to try vaping and e-cigarettes, the Ghidottis understand the diverse challenges posed by heart disease. They have seen friends their age, considered “weekend warriors” and healthy, struggle with silent symptoms like unknown high blood pressure. With a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of heart disease, the Ghidottis are dedicated to supporting the American Heart Association’s initiatives and making a difference in their community.
A Night to Remember: The 2025 Heart Ball and Beyond
The 2025 Heart Ball promises to be a night of elegance, inspiration, and fundraising. Featuring a silent and live auction, an elegant dinner, the presentation of the 2025 class of Sweethearts, and stories from heart disease and stroke survivors, the event will culminate in a live band to cap off the evening. Funds raised will support the American Heart Association’s mission to be a relentless force for longer, healthier lives, driving lasting change in the community.
As the campaign kicks off, the Ghidottis are working closely with the Heart Ball team to develop innovative strategies for engagement and fundraising. They are exploring new ways to connect with donors and showcase the life-saving work of the American Heart Association. This campaign is about more than just one night; it’s about creating lasting change in the community and ensuring equitable health for all.
