OEG is pleased to share their commitment to the American Heart Association's Greater Portland Heart Ball.
You probably won't be surprised to hear heart disease, hypertension and high cholesterol runs rampant in our industry. The men and women we work alongside each and every day function under high stress conditions, constant physical exertion and are exposed to greater risk than most industries.
You might be surprised to learn, the #1 killer of Americans is cardiovascular disease.
- 1 in 3 people will die from heart disease
- 1 in every 2.8 women will die from heart disease while 1 in 36 women will die from breast cancer
- 80% of all cardio vascular deaths are preventable through proper diet and exercise
The American Heart Association (AHA) is committed to building healthier lives free of heart disease and stroke. The work they do every day has a direct impact on the health of the people who matter most - our employees, colleagues, families and friends. However, there is still so much more to be done.
OEG has made a commitment to raise $10,000 by hosting a "Heart Healthy Breakfast" on Tuesday, August 9th @ 7:00am in support of this great cause. Friends, family and vendors are invited to attend.
As a valued partner, we invite you to join us in our support of the American Heart Association by making a contribution to the AHA. Your gift will play a significant role towards advancing the AHA's battle against heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke in our community and around the world.
Thank you for joining OEG and "Building Healthier Hearts". Our hope is education about what you can do now will "lay the foundation" for healthier hearts for generations to come. Thank you.
All funds raised through this campaign via Employee and Vendor donations will be matched by OEG and then those combined funds will be matched personally by Bart Dickson and Family up to $5,000.00.
