Heart-a-Thon raises more than $80,000

Posted

HARRIS, NY — The 37th annual WSUL/WVOS Heart-a-Thon took place at The Sullivan Hotel on Saturday, February 14. Both radio stations broadcast live from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the annual event raising more than $80,000. Donations continue to come in.

“The Heart-a-Thon recognizes the commitment of the community to our hospital,” said Catskill Regional Medical Center CEO Dr. Gerard Galarneau.

Members of the community stopped in throughout the day to make donations, listen to guest speakers, receive information and tips about heart health, and participate in Crossfit, Zumba and Step demonstrations. Radio listeners also showed their support by calling in pledges and participating in heart health trivia. In addition, thousands of tribute hearts were sold in honor or in memory of loved ones who have been afflicted with cardiac related conditions.
