“I.S. 228 SUPPORTS THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION"

 During the week of May 19th, the students of I.S. 228 will be fundraising and learning about the importance of physical activity as a way to prevent heart disease and stroke.  While encouraging community service, it also is an educational program.  Messages of staying tobacco free, eating right and exercise as a lifestyle, are reinforced while raising dollars critical to the development of lifesaving research.

Unfortunately, heart disease and stroke are the #1 and #3 killers in America today.  They account for almost as many deaths as all other causes combined.  Research funded by the American Heart Association in the past was directly responsible for the development of CPR, to name just one of the major and more visible achievements impacting millions of Americans.
