Starting in 2024 runners will have the option to do fundraising. While not required we would like everyone to consider giving it a try. All proceeds go directly to the Kaleida Health Foundation and benefit the best-in-class cardiac programs at Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute.
As part of our Heart-To-Heart initiative fundraisers will be provided with a personal fundraising page and tools to accept donations from their friends and family. Heart to Heart runners have the ability to win prizes when you fund raise certain amounts.
Letβs join together as a community to fight heart disease in Western New York!β€οΈ
