New York

Amid these unprecedented times, the AHA determined five key pillars to serve as the top focus areas. They are: Reducing Risk in Women, Research and Response to COVID-19, Eliminating Tobacco and Vaping, Supporting Patients, and Advancing Health and Well-being through Healthy Living. A donation from ICAP Charity Day in New York will help to fund these vital areas.

Charity Overview

For nearly 100 years, the American Heart Association (AHA) have been fighting heart disease and stroke, striving to save and improve lives. Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life.

The AHA want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Everything they do is rooted in science and based in health equity and reducing the barriers to optimal health for all.
