Walmart Team Message

A Message from the Walmart Foundation President Margaret McKenna

At Walmart, we have the opportunity to positively impact the lives of millions of people every day. That’s particularly true when it comes to helping our customers, our associates and the people in the communities we serve to live healthier lives.

As part of our efforts to help people live better, we’re supporting the American Heart Association’s efforts to raise awareness of the impact a healthy lifestyle has on fighting cardiovascular disease. Our support of the Start! Heart Walk, specifically the Red Cap Program, will provide an opportunity for thousands of survivors to visually show their triumph over heart disease and stroke, while simultaneously educating others about how to prevent these diseases by living a healthy lifestyle.

We are also proud of the support Walmart associates show for this cause by volunteering their time to participate in Start! Heart Walks across the country. We encourage you to join this worthwhile effort to raise awareness for the importance of healthy living. These events raise the funding needed to enable the American Heart Association to conduct important research and provide valuable education as part of their efforts to prevent heart disease. Walmart is proud to be a part of those efforts and we invite you to do the same.

Sincerely,

Margaret McKenna
President, The Walmart Foundation
