Golub’s To Chair 31st Capital Region Heart Ball
ALBANY – This year’s Capital Region Heart Ball will set a new standard with Neil and Jane Golub leading the event.
“In an entertaining and impactful way, we will raise the awareness of the ways that heart disease affects so many people – especially women,” said Neil Golub, Executive Chairman of the Board of Price Chopper Supermarkets. “This past year, the Neil and Jane Golub Heart Health Center at Bellevue Woman’s Center, part of Ellis Medicine, was opened so that more women have a fighting chance against heart disease. We are pleased to help the American Heart Association raise money so that even more people can learn how to prevent and treat heart disease and stroke. We have a concern that too many women ignore good heart health practices and, because the primary symptom is often misunderstood and overlooked, we need to educate women.”
The Capital Region Heart Ball will take place on Friday, March 21, at the Saratoga City Center in Saratoga Springs, beginning at 6 p.m. Three local physicians will be honored at the Heart Ball. Grand Central Station will play after dinner.
“We are fortunate to have so many good hospitals in the Capital Region that treat heart disease, and we will showcase all of them at the Heart Ball,” said Jane Golub, director of in-store marketing programs at Price Chopper Supermarkets. “We know how important prevention, diagnosis and treatment are to heart disease patients, and we want to honor all those who work daily to improve the heart health of our entire community.”
