Florida Hospital Foundation Raises $8K at Drive 4 UR Heart Fundraiser

 

In an effort to raise funds and awareness for its Heart & Vascular Center, the Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center Foundation held its Third Annual “Drive 4 UR Heart” fundraiser in Sebring on May 20. Bill Jarrett Ford donated $20 for each of the more than 400 people who test drove a new Ford vehicle.
Thanks to Bill Jarrett Ford, $8,000 will be donated to support the growth and development of the hospital’s Heart & Vascular Center. The FHHMC Foundation fundraiser is the only non-profit organization to receive such a great success rate for the Ford test drive fundraising event. Participants were able to drive several vehicles including the Ford Edge, Flex, Fiesta, Explorer, Focus, F-150 and Taurus. The Foundation also wants to thank the Florida Hospital staff members and volunteers, plus the Heartland community, for making this a successful event.

The FHHMC Heart & Vascular Center aids in saving lives through early detection and intervention against heart disease which is the number one cause of death in the United States. More than 9,000 people in the Heartland suffer from Cardiovascular Disease. For additional information about the Foundation, please call (863) 402-5369.
