Supporters at the Heart of our Mission
The Cor Vitae Society – Latin for “Heart of Life” – is the annual philanthropic giving society of the American Heart Association.
The society celebrates individual donors making annual gifts of $5,000 or more to further the American Heart Association’s mission. Lifetime recognition is given to donors whose contributions reach $500,000 in cumulative commitments.
An exceptional community of individuals, Cor Vitae Society members are united by a determination to ease the burden of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Our goal is to provide meaningful experiences to recognize and engage such distinguished and generous support.

“We were told our baby was born a ‘blue baby’. She would not have survived if she had been born three years sooner. Because of medical advancements, she had a chance.”
– Tracy Rose, Heather’s Mom
Heather Rose was born with five congenital heart defects and underwent multiple surgeries. Her parents share her story to bring awareness to congenital heart defects, which affect 1 in 100 births. Before medical advancements, children like Heather were often called “blue babies” due to their poor prognosis. Initiatives like Côtes du Coeur in the American Heart Association help fund research and support for these children, many who are now thriving as adults.
