What a Night to Remember Indeed!
The Brazos Valley 2010 Heart Gala at Miramont Country Club was the scene of Bryan, Texas transformed into scenes of Paris, France on April 23, 2010.
Congratulations to Donna Adam and her team for a record-breaking event. Generous sponsors and merchants gave from the heart to enable the group to raise more than $200,000 in cash and over $90,000 in kind, to support American Heart Research in the Brazos Valley. Click on the ad, beautifully designed by Katie Fox, Fox Marketing & Design, to see the outpouring of Brazos Valley support for this latest one-of-a-kind event in the series of Heart Galas coordinated since 1995.
Dr. J. James Rohack received a special recognition plaque from Mrs. Adam, on the occasion of his receiving a Distinguished Service Award for his outstanding work in supporting the mission of the American Heart Association.
The research grant, named in his honor, is entitled "Role of Mineralocortic old Receptors in Endothelial Dysfunction in Older Adults with Metabolic Syndrome". The researcher who will conduct this study is Dr. Demetra D. Christou, at Texas A&M University in College Station.
