In honor of him, the college will host an American Heart Association Walk on Saturday, April 21 st . All money raised will aid the fight against heart disease and stroke. Cardiovascular disease is currently the nation's number one killer. Each year, thousands of people nationwide participate in similar non-competitive walks sponsored by the American Heart Association.
Money is raised through donations collected by participating walkers.
