People who get the kiss will have a chance to win free tickets to either Fantasy or Thunder from Down Under, if their kiss is specially marked.

Bodies...The Exhibition will make a donation to the American Heart Association based on the Thursday's ticket sales.

During February, the exhibition features a 600-pound sculpture of a heart as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a healthy heart.
