At Headshot HSV, we are passionate about using our craft to support causes that matter. That’s why we were truly honored to photograph the 2025 Huntsville Heart Ball, an event that stands as a beacon of hope and support for the American Heart Association. Hosted in the sophisticated Saturn Ballroom at the Von Braun Center, the evening proved to be one for the books—a night where our community came together to raise funds for a cause that touches us all.

This year marked our second consecutive year capturing the event, and it was evident from the start that Huntsville’s commitment to heart health was stronger than ever. The energy in the room was electric, with every corner filled with passion, generosity, and enthusiasm. We were privileged to witness a record-breaking year for the Heart Ball, with attendees stepping up in a big way to help fund the American Heart Association’s vital work.

A special thank you goes to the sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made the evening possible. Bill Roark and Ginger Harper, co-chairs of the event’s Executive Leadership Team, your dedication and hard work brought this celebration to life, ensuring that it was not only unforgettable but impactful. The success of this event is a testament to your leadership and the community’s unwavering support.

Among the highlights of the evening was the recognition of two exceptional individuals:

• Mr. Frank J. Williams, recipient of the 2025 Heart of the Community Award, for his profound contributions to Huntsville’s health and wellness landscape.
• Dr. Shi-Chi Cheng, honored as the 2025 Physician of the Year, for his tireless commitment to the healthcare needs of our community.

These honorees serve as an inspiration to us all—showing us the power of service, dedication, and the importance of improving heart health in our community.

The Heart of Huntsville campaign is a reminder that the American Heart Association’s mission extends beyond a single night. It is a year-round effort focused on funding groundbreaking research, advancing heart health education, and ultimately helping save lives. This event is just one of the many ways our community comes together to support that mission, raising funds that fuel progress and inspire action.

As we reflect on this incredible night, we are reminded that fighting for better heart health doesn’t stop with an event—it’s a constant effort that requires all of us. So let’s continue to live fiercely, take care of our hearts, and support efforts that make a difference.

Here’s to next year—and to the ongoing fight for longer, healthier lives.
