Navient Foundation supports the American Heart Association’s upcoming 2016 Wilmington Heart Walk
09 September 2016 - 11:54PM
Navient employees will join 2,000 participants and volunteers this
weekend for the American Heart Association’s 2016 Wilmington Heart
Walk. The annual event raises money to save lives from the nation’s
top killers, including heart disease and stroke.
The 5K walk kicks off from Dravo Plaza, just down the Riverwalk
from Navient’s headquarters on the Wilmington Riverfront. Navient
Foundation, the company-sponsored philanthropic fund, contributed
to support the event.
“Thanks to the support of local businesses and individual
donors, the Heart Walk raises thousands of dollars to support the
mission work of the American Heart Association,” said John H.
Pierson, executive director, Delaware Division of the American
Heart Association. “We’re grateful to have both the financial
support and the participation of the Navient Foundation and of
Navient’s employees.”
The walk is Sunday, Sept. 11 at 9 a.m. Pre-walk activities,
including a children’s fun zone and health screenings, will begin
at 8 a.m. The walk is designed to promote physical activity and
heart-healthy living, while also creating an environment that’s fun
and rewarding for the entire family.
“The 2016 Wilmington Heart Walk is a great way to bring people
from the community together who have a common goal of ending
cardiovascular disease,” said Clem Straker, director, Navient, who
also volunteers on the board of the American Heart Association’s
Delaware division. “So many of us have been personally affected, so
we are looking forward to participating and supporting such an
important cause.”
Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death,
accounting for more than 17.3 million deaths per year, a number
that is expected to grow to more than 23.6 million by 2030,
according to the American Heart Association.
The American Heart Association is the largest voluntary health
organization dedicated to defeating heart disease, stroke and other
cardiovascular diseases.
