Executives with Heart

What is Executives with Heart?

Being a member of Executives with Heart means putting your name, your personal investment, and your network behind this larger purpose, something that will change lives. Because every person deserves the opportunity for a full, healthy life. Now more than ever it has been revealed that health is not equitable for all people across our country. We have long-standing structures existing that create barriers to health for many, based on race, geography, and wealth. And we know many of us are suffering from mental health challenges that, at times, feel insurmountable. That’s why the change starts here, the work starts here. This is the future the American Heart Association is working towards. There is more work to be done and we need you.

Thank you to our 2024

Heart Challenge Programs

Comprised of Heart Walk, CycleNation and Field Day, Heart Challenge is a suite of activities and initiatives designed to help companies positively impact employee health and well-being while uniting them to raise funds to end heart disease and stroke.

Our campaigns are designed to meet your company where you are – in-person, hybrid and/or virtual engagement.

Heartwalk 20 Year Survivor Image

Heart Walk unites employees in celebrating health and honoring survivors. Through our signature experience, we move, have fun and raise lifesaving funds- together. There are 250+ events nationwide where each participant proudly says, "I Walk to Save Lives"!
Field Day Event Image
Field Day Logo
Never stop playing. Teams of employees participate in physical, mental, and fundraising challenges which provides meaningful connection and play breaks in their workday. Companies who participate in Field Day host the event on their own campus or a nearby park, even virtually.
Cyclenation - Girl Riding Bike
Cyclenation Logo
Ride the Revolution. CycleNation is an experiential event focused on fundraising, building community, and getting moving through cycling. Your employees will save lives by having fun with each push of the pedal! Cycling experience is not necessary. Event is held on stationary bikes.
