On Saturday Oct. 14th 2023, West Essex AYLUS volunteered with America Heart Association at the 2023 Northern New Jersey Heart Walk in Roseland NJ (1 Adp Blvd Roseland, NJ 07068)
The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association’s premier event for raising funds to save lives from this country’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers – heart disease and stroke.
The Northern New Jersey Heart Walk has always been a terrific way to get moving while socializing with friends, family, and coworkers. But it’s so much more than a walk! Walking in the Heart Walk boosts your heart health AND your mental health and helps thousands of others at the same time.
West Essex branch members arrived at 7:30am and started with event set up. They set up tables for different sessions, put event signs along the route, unboxed snacks and water bottles and decorated kid zone. Then volunteers were assigned to different areas including survivor table, refreshment table, kids zone, start/end cheering, etc. During the event, branch members were able to quickly pick up new tasks whenever the organizer needed help. At the end, our branch members helped on final clean up to close the event.
Members (4 hours each): Jeremiah Au, Ella Chai, Kara Chai, Jasmine Chen, Victoria Chen, Jason Dong, Joselyn Kwan, Zoe Leung, Qing Liu, Chang Ma, Sophia Yan, Alyssa Zhang, Jianbin Zhang, Min Zhang
