Meet Our Donors

Lilian Tsi Stielstra

"I chose to create an AHA DAF because it’s an organization that I trust. Through my volunteer work with AHA, I see a well-run organization delivering on its mission, so I felt secure in my decision.”

Bernie Savransky

"I give the money to charity because it keeps people alive. We figured why not give now through gift annuities. It's something I can do in my lifetime."

Kent and Marcia Seeker

“I’d like to see all 50 states on board with teaching Hands-Only CPR in all schools,” Kent said. “That’s as important as the three ‘R’s. I’d also like to see the association continue their anti-smoking advocacy.”

Sabrina Pritchett-Evans

"I like AHA because it's about communities and making them healthy. To be able to say, 'Here's a check with no restrictions to do what you want within your community', is wonderful."

Nellie Axelroad

"I've had a fantastic life.  God blessed me more than I ever could have asked."

William and Barbara Rafaill

"We're hoping for a future of drugs with no side effects and more cardiovascular research and education."
