Wednesday is deadline to sign up for American Heart Association walk
If you are interested in taking part in the American Heart Association’s Heart the Stroke Walk on Saturday, May 19, please e-mail Peggy Kilburg (pkilburg@georgefox.edu) by 1 p.m. this Wednesday, May 9.
This fun, family-friendly event will take place in Portland along the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade. The 5K walk (or run if you prefer) promotes exercise and raises funds for cardiovascular disease research and initiatives that promote prevention, treatment and better care for stroke and heart disease patients.
Festivities begin at 8:30 a.m., and the walk begins at 10 a.m. After the walk, you can take your kids to the Kids Zone to enjoy some fun activities. There will also be CPR demonstrations and free blood pressure screenings. Food tents will be available for all participants.
George Fox is pulling together volunteers to support Mohan Nair’s team. Nair is the chief innovation officer at Regence and was executive in residence for the School of Business last fall. He is a friend of Robin Baker and is working to build a strong team for this event. Robin will be at Boise’s commencement that weekend. However, he is showing his support for Mohan and this event by making a $700 donation to his team and will contribute a $10 sponsorship to each of the first 10 employees who volunteer to join Mohan’s team.
To volunteer, please e-mail Peggy and be sure to mark your calendar for May 19. Participants will each get a free T-shirt, so please include your T-shirt size in your e-mail. More information is available about the event at this link.
