Virginia Heart Ball Sponsorship Opportunities

Join us this Valentine’s Day (2/14/26) for a heartfelt evening dedicated to the health of our community. The Heartbeat Ball will bring together local leaders, businesses, and community members to support the rebuilding of the Emergency Department at Essentia Health–Virginia—a vital project that will ensure patients receive faster, more advanced, and compassionate emergency care close to home.

This special evening will feature dinner, live entertainment, and inspiring stories of impact – all in support of a healthier Iron Range.

At the Essentia Health Foundation, building strong relationships with our local business community is essential. As a sponsor, your generosity will be recognized through print, digital, and social media outreach to over 10,000 supporters and community members.

100% of your gift stays local. Your sponsorship directly supports emergency care in Virginia and the surrounding region—helping to save lives, reduce wait times, and improve patient outcomes.

If you have any questions or would like help selecting the right sponsorship opportunity, please contact:

• Cassie McIvor, Events Specialist/Program Manager cassie.mcivor@essentiahealth.org
• Nick Bakhtiari Major Gifts Program Manager nicholas.bakhtiari@essentiahealth.org

The Heartbeat Ball has this opportunity thanks to generous support of our sponsorship opportunities.
