How Individuals and Companies Can Take Part in an AHA Walk


Parametric Solutions Inc has been providing gas turbine engine design, analysis, procurement, instrumentation, assembly and testing services for over two decades. A strong believer in corporate social responsibility, Parametric Solutions Inc supports the American Heart Association (AHA) Walk. 

Every year, AHA organizes hundreds of walks across the country under the AHA Walk banner to raise funds for cardiovascular research. The walks are an opportunity for people throughout the country to meet, socialize, exercise, and take a stand against heart disease, the leading cause of death in America. 

Individuals and companies can both participate in the walk. Individuals can access the AHA website, find a walk near them, and register for it. They can even create a personal fundraising page, set a fundraising goal, and invite their friends and family to donate to the cause. Donations can be made by cash, check, or credit card. These funds will be presented to Heart Walk staff on the day of the walk. Beyond participation, individuals can also volunteer to help with a local event. They can erect tents, register participants, help staff collect funds, and serve food. 

Companies can take part by registering employee teams for the walk. This is a good way to promote health and wellness, build employee relations, and perform corporate social responsibility roles. All this is in addition to the funds raised, which help save lives.
