With a disgusted face, Mallory Mueller, heart princess, asks her dad, Scott, why anyone would want carrots for dessert at the American Heart Association's 13th annual Heart Ball on Saturday, Feb. 18 at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel. Mallory had a heart transplant at a young age. Now the 6-year-old survivor enjoys dancing, swimming and playing pretend.

After dinner and award presentations, guests indulged in desserts. More than 450 people attend the ball.

Maradeth Hart, a Sweetheart and junior from Lincoln East High School, stands before the audience at the Heart Ball. Hart is a part of the Sweetheart program, which started last year in Lincoln and gets high school students involved in the American Heart Association. Each Sweetheart was presented to the group by their father.

Under the spotlight, the entire group of Sweethearts and Royalty receive applause from the audience while they are presented at the Heart Ball. Each Royalty member is a child that has had some form of heart disease, and each Sweetheart has taken an active role in learning about and helping the American Heart Association.

Brenna - Thanks very much for including my photo in the lineup of shots you took from the American Heart Association Heart Ball. The event seemed to be an immense success and I was honored to be a small part of it. Your overall pictures were very striking. I am curious if you would have the ability to send me a file w/ the photos taken of myself and maybe a few of the overall event for my portfolio. In the picture of myself listed above, if you can leave in the credit description of the event it would be great but either way much appreciated. I look forward to getting more exposure to events in the Lincoln market and to any future events that we can both be a part of. Thanks again for your time and talent. Cheers !! - Louis Taylor
