The American Heart Association is seeking volunteers to help with the upcoming Greater Mercer Heart Walk scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8, at Mercer County Park in West Windsor.
There are numerous volunteer opportunities available including helping with registration, passing out water, serving as a performer or sharing information throughout the day.
The Greater Mercer Heart Walk, sponsored nationally by Subway and Jenny Craig and locally supported by Capital Health, Bristol-Myers Squibb, New Jersey Manufacturers, Roma Bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and PSEG, is a community celebration that serves as a signature fundraising event for the American Heart Association. The funds raised support the American Heart Association’s research, education and advocacy efforts focused on cardiovascular health and wellness. There are over 400 Heart Walks held nationwide, nine of which are hosted in New Jersey.
Founded in 1924, the American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary health organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of heart disease and stroke. To help prevent, treat and defeat these diseases, the association funds cutting-edge research, conducts lifesaving public and professional educational programs, and advocates to protect public health.
