Meet Our Donors

Darryl Griffin

"I'm planting that seed of legacy and continued impact to do something very positive in life and in death."

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."
