In recognition of American Heart Month, Cintas Corporation
(NASDAQ:CTAS) today announced it has committed to fundraising for
the American Heart Association (AHA), as part of its First Aid
& Safety Division’s efforts to raise awareness about heart
health. As the largest provider of CPR, AED and first aid training
created by the AHA, Cintas is implementing company-wide initiatives
to raise funds surrounding various AHA events, including Go Red for
Women, Start! and AHA nation-wide heart walks.
“An average of 2,300 Americans die of cardiovascular disease
each day – one death every 38 seconds,” added Nancy Wolff,
Executive Director Dallas Division, American Heart Association.
“We’re thrilled to receive the support of companies like Cintas
that not only provide first aid training and products for emergency
situations but encourage heart health in their own backyards. If
more companies promote healthy work environments, the future of
heart disease can look very different.”
Cintas recently celebrated National Go Red for Women Day by
promoting heart health awareness and engaging our 30,000 partners
to wear red on Friday, February 4th. In addition to fundraising,
Cintas promotes a healthy work environment to align with the AHA
Start! program, a groundbreaking national campaign calling on all
Americans and their employers to create a culture of physical
activity and health through walking.
“Cintas has great respect for the work AHA does and we’re proud
to broaden our partnership with them to help educate the country
about the importance of being proactive about heart health – from
preventative care to emergency training.” said Scott Garula,
President and COO, First Aid & Safety, Cintas. “Our commitment
to amplifying the dialogue about heart disease is one all Cintas
employees approach with great enthusiasm, evident by our efforts to
promote better health first in our own work environment.”
Each Cintas location will participate in local AHA Heart Walks,
the organization’s premiere fundraising event for heart disease.
