Spotlight on: American Heart Association

The American Heart Association is dedicated to providing education on the prevention of heart disease and stroke and leads research in the field. They are the number one provider for CPR classes and the funding they have generated for research has led to the creation of artificial heart valves and open heart surgery. Since 1924, the American Heart Association has been battling heart disease, which is the number one killer of adults in the US.

Every year, heart disease kills more than 800,000 people in the US, and 1 in 3 adult Americans are affected by the disease. By the year 2020, the American Heart Association hopes to reduce the number of deaths caused by heart disease and stroke by twenty percent. You can help them reach that goal with your donation.
