American Heart Association
Gateway Energy Services continued its support of the American Heart Association through its participation at the annual 3K Start! Walk.
The 2009 Heart Walk raised almost $300,000 to help fight heart disease and stroke. This year, four Gateway Energy employees earned platinum status by raising more than $500 each. Team Gateway raised more than $5,000, making it the 10th highest fundraising company at the Tri-County event.
This year’s event was held Sunday, May 17, 2009, at Rockland County Community College. Gateway Energy sponsored the third-mile marker with cheers, fun and goodies for the walkers. At the end of the walk, Gateway manned an information booth that had additional giveaways.
Since 1924, the American Heart Association has helped protect people of all ages and ethnicities from the ravages of heart disease and stroke. These diseases, the No. 1 and No. 3 killers, claim more than 910,000 American lives a year.
