A word from Henry L. Bell, Jr., Director

I am an ambassador for the Heart Legacy Ambassadors team supporting Dr. Shani Davis for the 2024 Tampa American Heart Association's Woman of Impact distinction, and the director of the inaugural "Pa Bell Invitational" Spades & Bid Whist Tournament, commemorating the life and card playing legacy of my father, Henry L. Bell, Sr.
Proceeds will support the American Heart Association on behalf of Dr. Davis' Woman of Impact campaign.
I'm asking for your support, and I hope to see your face in attendance!

Thanks in advance...Henry L. Bell, Jr.

WOMAN of IMPACT is an American Heart Association initiative to drive awareness and raise funds for heart disease prevention in Tampa, and in communities nationally. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of African American women, all African Americans, and all Americans. More communities need to be aware of these statistics. This campaign is an opportunity to make an IMPACT on the communities disproportionately affected by cardiovascular related mortality, and make the connections to information, research, and resources needed to save lives.
