About Us

An Affair of the Heart Luncheon and Fashion Show is a highly anticipated Washington event, spanning over seven decades. In fact, this event is one of the oldest annual fund-raising events of any nationally recognized non-profit group.

The Women’s Board, comprised of over ninety volunteer members, sponsors the An Affair of the Heart Luncheon and Fashion Show to raise funds aimed at reducing heart disease and stroke. Together, we are a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.

Thanks to the 1,000+ guests, and the generous support of corporations and foundations, the Women’s Board has raised over $10 million since 2000 to fund substantial AHA research grants from esteemed institutions in the region.

Be part of this extraordinary day, where fashion meets philanthropy!
