A driven heart: Carolyn Jackson propels heart disease conversation
While heart disease is the No. 1 killer of both men and women worldwide, one Paradise Valley woman is being honored for her efforts resulting in the staggering sum of funds raised to bring awareness to the killer disease.
Carolyn Jackson, who served as chair of the 59th Annual Phoenix Heart Ball, used her platform to transform the black-tie event into a yearlong campaign with far-reaching impacts.
The moniker “Driven Hearts,” which was first used as the 2018 Phoenix Heart Ball theme and then expanded into a campaign in partnership with the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company, which reached an international audience, raising awareness and millions of dollars for the American Heart Association.
The tradition of the Phoenix Heart Ball has become a staple within the local community, and many Paradise Valley women are a part of the Heart Ball Committee.
Rose Law Group congratulates client and friend, Carolyn Jackson, for all her fantastic work to enhance our overall community.
