Why You Should Leave a Charitable Bequest to American Heart Association

Your charitable bequest to the American Heart Association can help ensure that the AHA is able to continue their important work in the fields of research and development so they can directly combat deadly heart disease and stroke. Globally, heart disease is the number one killer - and stroke ranks second in deaths around the world.

The AHA’s groundbreaking research has resulted in medical breakthroughs that save lives every day. The American Heart Association has long been an integral part of forward-thinking research and drug development in this important sector of medicine.

Donations to the American Heart Association have allowed the organization to:

Lead the efforts on tobacco oversight
Establish unprecedented research initiative, One Brave Idea, which awarded $75M to curing heart disease
