2017 Heart Walk team leaders and walkers needed
February 28, 2017
By Chief Doug Schrage, University Fire Department
Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans and affects the lives of many of our own fellow employees. As we have each year, UAF will be participating in the American Heart Association's Fairbanks Heart Walk on Saturday, May 13.
Perhaps more now than ever, it is important that we have a strong and visible presence in our community. I am encouraging all employees to participate in our efforts to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke.
Participating is easy and fun, and serves a very worthwhile cause. Options for participation include:
- Organizing a team for your work group and recruiting 15 fundraising walkers.
- Joining a team as a fundraising walker.
- Making a personal donation.
We need motivated employees to serve as team leaders. Our campaign starts with the 2017 kickoff luncheon Wednesday, March 8, at noon at Raven Landing, 1222 Cowles Street. Will you please join me? You will receive organizing materials, information about incentives and a heart-healthy lunch.
If you would like to be a team leader or join a team now, please sign up here. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact me via email or at 907-474-5770.
