PHOENIX,
Ariz., May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pamela Overton Risoleo, shareholder of global
law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, will serve as chairman of the 65th
Phoenix Heart Ball, an annual gala to benefit the American Heart
Association, held Nov. 23. Greenberg
Traurig is a sponsor of the Heart Ball and the associated golf
tournament.
The American Heart Association (AHA) is also celebrating its
100th anniversary this year, a milestone marking its promotion of
heart health, education about heart disease prevention, and support
of people affected by cardiovascular conditions. The Heart Ball is
one of the oldest and largest charities in Phoenix, fundraising for the AHA's support of
groundbreaking medical research and education.
"Growing up, I idolized my grandmother, who almost lost her life
to heart disease. A pacemaker saved her life," Risoleo said, noting
that the AHA funded the invention of the first pacemaker. "Just
about everyone has someone in their life who has been affected by
cardiovascular disease, stroke, etc., which is why bringing
awareness about heart health is so important to me."
Risoleo is actively involved in the Phoenix community. In addition to being a
member of the AHA since 1993, she was the vice chairman of the
Heart Ball in 1999 and received the AHA's 2017 Peggy Goldwater
Public Service Award for 25 years of outstanding community service
in Arizona. Risoleo is a founding
member of the Fresh Start Women's Foundation; she has served on its
board and been an active member for more than 30 years. She
practices as a Litigation attorney, working on matters related to
product liability, cybersecurity and data breaches, real estate,
and more.
