Thank you for being here. Every dollar goes to the American Heart Association and is processed and receipted by them directly.
I'll be honest about why this one matters more to me now. Last Friday, September 18th, I lost a friend of 30 years to a heart attack, a devoted dad who spent his free time fishing and skiing with his son. I'm raising $40,000 for the American Heart Association through November 4. Please consider joining me.
Cardiovascular disease kills 19.8 million people a year. One in three deaths on earth, more than twice the toll of every cancer combined. South Carolina ranks 42nd out of 50 on high blood pressure, which is the most fixable risk factor there is.
$1,000 is fully tax deductible and the level most likely to be matched by your employer. $250 is the backbone of this campaign. $50 takes a minute and counts exactly the same.
One favor before you give: check whether your company matches charitable gifts. It takes about 5 minutes on an internal portal and it doubles what you just did. Send me the confirmation and I will make sure it lands.
Thank you. This one matters to me.
