The Heart Ball was a huge success!!
The 2009 Pee Dee Heart Ball was a huge success and I just have to say that I am so proud of both my sweet heart baby and my non-stop hubby! Mel was a co-chair of the ball this year, and it was one of the best I’ve been to. (Of course, I may be a bit biased!) Mimi and Bapa and Nonnie and Bubba also joined us for a very special night.
Daddy looking dapper at a little pre-Heart Ball gathering we hosted at the Midnight Rooster here in Hartsville.
Nonnie took this just after a video of Mary Clare was played on three huge screens in the ball room.
The band was blasting, so of course, Mary Clare hit the dance floor! After the live auction, the open gift bidding began…it didn’t take long for her to steal the hearts of the entire room…and raise lots of $$!
Everyone wanted to dance with Mary Clare, even total strangers fell in love with her! (above)
Mary Clare danced the night away and helped raise more money than the American Heart Association has ever raised at the Pee Dee Heart Ball!! She didn’t slow down the entire night! (82 oxygen saturation levels..so what?!) We didn’t make it home until 11:30 p.m., and she didn’t even fall asleep on the car ride home! She had so much fun! We are so very proud of her and love showing her off! She is certainly our little heart miracle!
