As they say, if you are going to do anything, "do it with heart."

That is just what the American Heart Association wants do to.

The 2025 Baldwin Art for Heart Gala will bring together the community for an elegant evening dedicated to supporting heart health awareness and funding cardiovascular research.

The annual fundraiser, hosted by the American Heart Association and locally sponsored by Gulf Coast Rental Co., will be held Saturday, April 5, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Oasis at Orange Beach Ballroom, located at 23450 Perdido Beach Blvd.

Led by this year's chairs, Sarah and Tater Harris, owners of Gulf Coast Rental Co., the gala will feature a live art auction, gourmet dining, and entertainment, all set against the backdrop of Orange Beach's waterfront. Guests will also hear powerful testimonies from heart disease and stroke survivors, highlighting the event's mission of raising awareness and inspiring action.

Attendees can bid on an impressive collection of artwork from local and regional artists, with all auction proceeds directly benefiting the American Heart Association's efforts to combat heart disease and stroke. The evening will also include live musical performances and special guest speakers to enhance the celebratory atmosphere.

Funds raised will support groundbreaking cardiovascular research, educational programs and advocacy initiatives throughout Baldwin County and beyond. The American Heart Association continues to drive progress in improving heart health, and the Baldwin Art for Heart Gala plays a key role in advancing these vital efforts.

Community members, business leaders, and philanthropists are encouraged to attend and show their support for the cause. Sponsorship opportunities and ticket details are available for those interested in contributing.
