Security Mutual Life is supporting the American Heart Association's efforts to raise awareness for heart disease, the number one killer in the U.S., by lighting up a downtown Binghamton landmark in red for the month of February. The annual Southern Tier Heart Walk, scheduled for April 26, will bring the community together to get active and raise money for research, education, and advocacy programs.

Why it matters

Heart disease is a major public health issue, and initiatives like the Southern Tier Heart Walk help drive awareness and funding for critical programs. Security Mutual's support for the event demonstrates the company's commitment to the local community and to promoting heart health.

The details

Each year, the American Heart Association hosts the Southern Tier Heart Walk, and this year they are asking the community to bring healthy foods and spices to donate. The goal is to encourage people to lower the sodium in their diets by using flavorful spices instead. Heart Walk Chairwoman Mary O'Malley-Trumble says the event is a great way to bring the community together and raise awareness.
