Celebrate love, laughter, and community this Valentine’s season with “Laugh Your Heart Out,” a fundraiser event benefiting Go Red for Women, an American Heart Association nonprofit. This unique event combines entertainment and philanthropy to support a life-saving cause.
“Laugh Your Heart Out” will feature keynote speaker Doug Thompson, a Cedar Rapids resident, national comedian, and heart health advocate. As a triple bypass and heart attack survivor, Mr. Thompson brings humor and authenticity to his message of resilience and heart health awareness. Attendees will be able to bid on a variety of silent auction items before Mr. Thompson’s keynote.
All proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will benefit Go Red For Women. The funds will be used to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease in women and support research of women’s heart health. “Laugh Your Heart Out” is hosted by Katie Hopkins, a Cedar Rapids resident, wife, mother, and heart attack survivor. On August 1, 2023, Mrs. Hopkins suffered a massive heart attack at just 36 years old. Now, she is passionate about educating other women on the warning signs of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events.
