Over 20 years ago, William K. Nasser, MD, and Carol Kourany, RD, created The Dining A La Heart Program and annual fundraiser. The goal of the program was twofold:  to educate The Care Group patients and the public that it was possible to enjoy heart-healthy foods while eating away from home, and to raise money for cardiac related initiatives, including the American Heart Association, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, ECMO and telemedicine program and now, The Reviving Hearts program.

This year’s William K. Nasser 20^th Annual Dining A La Heart Fundraiser is from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 27 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel.  Over 750 guests will have the opportunity to sample delicious heart-healthy appetizers, entrees and desserts created by 20 top chefs from the Indianapolis metro area while participating in a raffle and super silent auction items, all to raise money for The Reviving Hearts Program.

Unique outdoor photography by Carmel resident Steve Standifer will be featured at the Club Renaissance “Red, White and Barbeque” event on Wednesday, June 30 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Renaissance Indianapolis North hotel. The event will feature the photography show, complimentary wine tastings, a selection of Indiana vegetables, fruits, and meats, including Fisher Farms spareribs and gourmet burgers, and musical entertainment by Zionsville guitarist Chad Mills.
