A scene from the Southern Tier Heart WalkIn the next 10 minutes, 20 lives will be lost to heart disease — a devastating fact.  With your help, we can create hope for a better future. Get involved in this year’s Southern Tier Heart Walk!

The American Heart Association’s Heart Walk will be held on Sunday, April 8, at 10 a.m. right here at our SUNY Broome Ice Center and you can be part of the SUNY Broome Team.  Plans for the walk are in full swing with fun you won’t want to miss! There are free blood pressure checks, heartfelt survivor tributes and celebrations, and so much more. SUNY Broome already has a team online, so all you need to do is join it, and let your sponsors know how to contribute to help reach our $5000 goal.

To sign up, go to www.southerntierheartwalk.org , follow the path: Register to Walk, Join a Team or Start a Team, Returning Participant or User Log in, continue to follow prompts. To create your own SUNY Broome team please name it using SUNY Broome in the title such as (SUNY Broome- Medical Assisting) so that all proceeds fall under the SUNY Broome team as a whole.
