The American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association are devoted to saving people from heart disease and stroke – America’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers. We team with millions of volunteers to fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide lifesaving tools and information to prevent and treat these diseases. The Dallas-based American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. In Dallas, I oversee annual unrestricted fundraising events, including the Heart Walk, Go Red for Women Luncheon, and Heart Ball (Cotes du Coeur). Through building powerful partnerships in the community we will return more than $12 million through unrestricted contributions from companies and individuals. We will use these funds for health related programs, research and advocacy to help create a world free from cardio vascular deceases and stroke.The American Heart Association is the largest non-governmental funder of heart disease and stroke research in the United States.
