The American Heart Association benefited from Donald Haack Diamons & Diamonds’ generosity when Donald Haack donated a diamond and 18K white gold heart pendant for auction at the 52nd Annual Greater Charlotte Heart Ball.

The proceeds from the heart pendant, which has a retail value of $1125, will go towards cardiovascular research, education and advocacy programs.

"A healthy community is a strong community," says Julie Haack, president of Donald Haack Diamonds & Fine Gems. "We are honored to support the American Heart Association's mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."
