MONTICELLO, NY — The 48th annual 98.3 WSUL Heart-A-Thon, hosted at Resorts World Catskills, brought together residents, local organizations and health care advocates to raise more than $90,000 in support of heart health initiatives across Sullivan County.

Held in honor of American Heart Month, the event featured a full day of community programming, including a health fair, blood drive and fundraising that benefited six local organizations focused on prevention, education and treatment programs. 

Resorts World Catskills has hosted the Heart-A-Thon for the past five years, providing space for the gathering and ongoing support through its RW Gives community investment program.

As part of this year’s event, RW Gives donated $15,000 to the cause. Community members also contributed through heart and T-shirt sales in the resort lobby, raising more than $4,000, while Resorts World Catskills team members raised nearly $1,000 through additional fundraising efforts and participation in Wear Red Day.

“The 48th annual 98.3 WSUL Heart-A-Thon was an overwhelming success, even with challenging weather across Sullivan County,” said Les Kristt, committee chair for the WSUL Heart-A-Thon. “Our community once again came together in support of heart health. We are grateful to our partners at Resorts World Catskills for providing an incredible venue, supporting the event financially, and helping make this legacy community effort possible.”
