HOA Heartbeats

The HOA Heartbeats, authorized by the chapter board in 1969, is the Ladies Auxiliary of the Kansas City Missouri Chapter and Heart of America Chorus. Its overall goal is to support the activities of the chapter through FUNd-raising, social activities, and service projects, and to lend spirit and enthusiasm to the men as they pursue their singing hobby.

The Heartbeats also sponsor the Orval Wilson Harmony University Scholarship every year, to send a first-time participant to Harmony University.
