CNY comes together to raise money at the 2025 Syracuse Heart Walk
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Central New Yorkers raised more than $465,000 at the 2025 Syracuse Heart Walk on Sunday, March 30.
The Heart Walk is an annual, family-friendly event that brings the community together to support the mission of the American Heart Association: to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. The event's goal is to enhance CPR training accessibility, increase funding for research and save lives.
About 2,000 people gathered at the SRC arena for the Heart Walk. The event brought together heart disease and stroke survivors, as well as people from dozens of local companies.
'When companies, communities and individuals come together to support the Heart Walk, they create a ripple effect of positive change,' said Dr. Seth Kronenberg, the president and CEO of Crouse Health and Syracuse Heart Walk volunteer chairman. 'Let's keep moving forward, one step at a time, towards a healthier future for all.'
During the event, the American Heart Association also presented Fran Brown, Syracuse University's football coach, with the Paul 'Bear' Bryant Newcomer Coach of the Year Award. The award, which is presented annually, celebrates Bear Bryant's legacy and raises funds for research to eliminate death from cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The event was sponsored by Crouse Health, St. Joseph's Health, FamilyCare Medical Group and more. You can visit this link to learn more.
