Heart, Leadership, and Legacy: Alexandria Marion Mills Wlasuk Named Chair of 2026 Heart Ball

There’s something special about Iredell County—and it’s not just our charming downtowns, lake sunsets, and growing business community. It’s the heart behind the people who live here. And no one embodies that more this year than Alexandria Marion Mills Wlasuk, Esq., who has been named the 2025–2026 Chair of the American Heart Association’s Heart of Iredell County Heart Ball.

Alexandria, an executive with Randy Marion Automotive Group, is stepping into a role that carries deep family roots. Her grandfather, Randy Marion, was a longtime supporter and Heart Ball chair himself. Now, she’s taking that legacy forward with a fresh vision, representing a new generation of leadership dedicated to health, equity, and community connection in Iredell County.

The Heart Ball isn’t just one night—it’s a year-round movement. The campaign fuels life-saving research, advances health equity, supports education, and brings critical heart-health resources to our community. From advocating for better access to care to celebrating survivors and honoring volunteers, this initiative touches lives in ways big and small.

And next spring, the celebration returns:

2026 Heart of Iredell County Heart Ball
📅 Saturday, March 28, 2026
📍 Statesville Civic Center

Expect an evening filled with stories of survival, live and silent auctions, dinner, dancing, and a powerful celebration of the mission to ensure everyone in our region has the chance to live a long, healthy life.

As Alexandria shared, this event isn’t just about fundraising—it’s about building a future “where every person deserves more time with the people they love.” Hard to think of a mission more meaningful than that.
