On Wednesday, Jan. 24, the officers, district Captains and volunteers of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association met for a kick-off dinner at the Trinity Episcopal Church for the residential fund raising campaign.
The campaign will begin Feb. 1. “We hope you will give generously when a volunteer visits you,” a chapter spokesman said.
The American Heart Association is the nation’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to the reduction or disability and death from heart and blood vessel diseases, which annually kill almost one million Americans. Last year the AHA spent more than $150 million for research support and public and professional education and community programs.
