We had another fun and successful night this year at the Madison Hard Hats With Heart event, where we celebrated the life-saving work of the American Heart Association in our community.

Guests had the opportunity to network with industry leaders & hospital executives, learn life-saving CPR tips, hear from a local heart survivor, and enjoy a multitude of drinks & appetizers thanks to Tito’s, Buck and Honey’s, Southern Italy Imports and Karben4 while enjoying the sounds of local live music provided by the Ron Denson Band.

The silent auction always is exciting to watch, this year we had so many great prizes including Packers Tickets, Badger Tickets, Concert Tickets to The Sylvee, a Pheasant Hunt at Cedar Valley Preserve and many more!
