The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is participating in the
Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community presented by Highmark Blue Cross Blue
Shield on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Heinz Field on the North Shore of
Pittsburgh.
The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is a fundraiser that benefits local health and human service agencies in Western Pennsylvania. The primary goal of the walk is to help participating organizations raise money for their individual missions. Since the walk’s inception in 2003, 3.5 million dollars has been raised for the 170 organizations that have participated across the state. The secondary goal of the walk is to energize community members to have a greater hand in their health by becoming or staying physically active.
Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield underwrites the cost of the walk so that 100 percent of the money raised by walkers goes directly to the 70 participating organizations. The first walk occurred in Pittsburgh in 2003. Additional events have since been added in Bethlehem, Erie, Harrisburg, and the inaugural Johnstown walk.
Mark Saturday, May 21, 2011 on your calendar, and start gathering friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers to join you in walking to ensure a healthier community.
