Caroline Clayton-Stamm is raising money for NYC Young Professionals 2014 Red Ball

Fundraising Amount=$1,665.00 ; Goal=$1,500.00

An American is lost to heart diseases and strokes every 39 seconds. After recently attending an advocacy meeting and hearing a personal stories by those affected, I decided to join the American Heart Association (AHA), the nation's oldest, largest, voluntary organization devoted to cardiovascular diseases and strokes. Specifically, I am a member of the AHA NYC Young Professionals, a group of young adults in the city who strive to increase awareness and cardiovascular education. I believe it is very important for Americans to learn how to live a heart-healthy life and do everything possible to not be part of the statistic. Every spring, the NYC Young Professionals hosts the Red Ball, the group's largest fundraising event. As a committee member, I am helping to plan and organize the event, of which 100% of the profits goes directly to the American Heart Association. This year's event will take place on May 7, 2014 at the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan and features a cocktail reception, silent auction, and dancing!

Please help me and the AHA Young Professionals educate and emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent heart disease and stroke. Please consider sponsoring me by making a donation using the link to the right. A donation of any amount will help greatly in achieving my goal of $1,500.

For those of you in the NYC area, I hope that you can join us at the event to have a fun night! Not only is it a great opportunity to give to a phenomenal cause, it is an opportunity to mingle with young professionals from the NYC area. Tickets can be purchased directly from me or using the link to the right.

Thank you very much!

Love always,
Caroline

Over the past 10 years of the AHA NYC Young Professionals, we have developed and reached amazing heights as one of the most prestigious young professional groups in Manhattan. Thank YOU for bringing our group to the next level of excellence.

In honor of the New Year, the 2014 Young Professionals Board of Directors has developed a new statement to shape our mission, vision and values as a group. Cheers to the future!

The numbers speak for themselves: we lose an American to heart diseases and stroke every 39 seconds. For young adults under the age of 40, our rates are rising. We'd like to change that.

We are young adults who want to make a difference by increasing awareness and education of cardiovascular dis-eases and stroke while having fun. We have been inspired to get involved, be it because our lives have been directly or indirectly affected by heart diseases and stroke, or be-cause we just want to be part of this active community.

We host regular missions events aimed at getting people learning, thinking, and talking about prevention strategies of a heart healthy lifestyle. We volunteer in the community, meet up for social and fitness events, learn more about heart diseases and stroke, share our stories, advocate for heart policy, support fundraising for cutting edge research, and have fun along the way.

We are vibrant and bold, changing the face of heart disease today, tomorrow. One day at a time.

We are the American Heart Association Young Professionals of NYC. We are the YPs.

Without your commitment to our mission, we would be unable to do the things that we do. Please help us continue to fight America’s number 1 and number 4 causes of death, Heart Disease and Stroke.
