Richard Silliman Legacy Award

Dick Silliman is known to many in the American Heart Association community for his generosity and support. Having chaired the 2017 Portland Heart Ball, Dick brought a vision for what the American Heart Association’s impact in Oregon could be and he helped set the market up to achieve that. Driven by a passion to improve and better things for future generations, Dick dedicated himself to being a builder. Not just of skylines around the world, but of people and the community.

Those closest to Dick would say time and circumstances had smiled upon him throughout his life and he felt it was his duty to share his good fortune. He leaves a profound legacy of compassion, kindness and gratitude.

The American Heart Association of Oregon & southwest Washington is honored to continue his legacy through the Richard Silliman Legacy Award. This award will shine a spotlight on the work of individuals who are making an impact by building healthier and better community for the next generation.
