The Heart of Southern New England: DPCO Chairs the 2025 Heart Ball in Partnership with the American Heart Association

For more than 100 years, the American Heart Association has committed to advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere. Through the Heart of Southern New England Heart Ball campaign, DiSanto, Priest & Co. has volunteered to spearhead this year’s goal of raising $400,000 and will lead community-wide efforts to help ensure every individual in Southern New England has the opportunity for a full, healthy life.

At DiSanto, Priest & Co., our connection to the American Heart Association’s mission is deeply personal. Several of our staff members have close family members who are heart disease survivors, bearing testament to the life-saving work of the American Heart Association. These personal experiences have strengthened our resolve to support this vital cause. This aligns perfectly with our core value of maintaining a supportive work environment where our people – our greatest asset – can thrive both personally and professionally. Will you help us reach our goal?
