Each year, the sponsors and attendees of Young at Heart are our guests, but they also become partners in advancing heart health across our community.

Your support helps Jackson Heart Foundation invest in public health infrastructure, wellness programming, research, education, and projects like the Museum Trail that create more opportunities for people to move, connect, and live healthier lives.

We are grateful to everyone who gathered with us this year and chose to support the work ahead! Young at Heart represents a strong team and community coming together around a shared commitment to healthier hearts and lifestyles.

Another amazing year of impact for heart health, made possible by our wonderful sponsors, supporters, and community partners!

It was inspiring to gather for Young at Heart: Gather on the Green at the Mississippi Museum of Art’s Art Garden, one of the many public spaces and cultural destinations that will be connected through the Museum Trail.

This year’s event celebrated Jackson Heart Foundation’s continued investment in public health infrastructure, including the completion of the Capitol Green Connector in Downtown Jackson, along with wellness programming, research, and education focused on creating healthier places.

A special thank you to Chef Chaz Lindsey and Chef Joe Cravens for an incredible four-course dinner, to Mississippi Museum of Art for a beautiful setting, and to Fresh Cut Wendy + Julia Putt and Davaine Lighting for helping make the evening so memorable.

As we look ahead, extending the Museum Trail through the Arts District is one of our major goals for the coming year. This next phase will strengthen connections between downtown cultural destinations, businesses, neighborhoods, and public spaces while creating even more opportunities for walking, biking, recreation, and everyday movement.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, braced the weather, and continues to believe in building a healthier, more connected community in Jackson!

Jackson Heart Foundation invests in public health infrastructure like the Museum Trail and the Keith Haring Fitness Court, creating free and accessible opportunities for movement, recreation, and connection throughout our community.

These spaces are part of a broader effort to make heart health more approachable and connected to the way we live every day. This Thursday evening, we look forward to gathering with our sponsors and guests at Young at Heart: Gather on the Green to celebrate the people, partnerships, and projects helping move this work forward.

What an exciting day for the Museum Trail and the LeFleur Museum District!

Today’s groundbreaking for the Lakeland Drive Pedestrian Bridge celebrates a big step toward making it easier and safer to walk, bike, and move between the museums, parks, trails, and outdoor destinations that make this area so special.

As Mayor John Horhn shared, the project will help connect many of Jackson’s “crown jewels.” For Jackson Heart Foundation, that means stronger connections across the Museum Trail network and more opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy the district through recreation.

We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone with the LeFleur’s Bluff Conservancy, LeFleur Museum District, Mississippi Department of Transportation, Great City Mississippi Foundation, and all of the partners helping bring this connection to life.

The Capitol Green Connector is moving forward, and community volunteers are helping bring this new section of the Museum Trail to life.

During the Community Planting Day, volunteers added new trees and landscaping along the trail, creating future shade, habitat, and a more welcoming route into Downtown Jackson. Their time and energy made a meaningful difference as construction continues.

This progress is supported by the Capitol Complex Improvement District, Entergy Mississippi’s Environmental Initiatives Fund, the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund, and the Community Foundation for Mississippi through Jackson Heart Foundation. Special thanks to SoHo Landscaping for preparing the soil and plants for the day.

Join us on October 1 for Young at Heart: Gather on the Green as we celebrate the projects, partnerships, and people helping build a healthier and more connected Jackson!
