Brewster, NY, April 26, 2018 – PCSB Bank employees stepped up to the plate to show their unwavering commitment for the 2018 Putnam Heart Walk on April 22nd—raising a record $56,554 for the American Heart Association (AHA). During the past 15 years, PCSB Bank has raised a grand total of nearly $640,000 for the AHA.
Joseph D. Roberto, chairman, president and chief executive officer of PCSB Bank, served as 2018 Heart Walk Chair, and the bank retained its title as Top Walking Team in Putnam County. The PCSB Bank team included 470 employees, families, friends, and even some pets along for the walk.
This year’s walkathon, which embarked from Brewster High School, celebrated local survivors of heart disease and stroke, helped raise awareness, and funded research and programs of the American Heart Association.
“This annual event provides a very important opportunity for PCSB Bank employees, as well as our families and friends, to raise money to combat heart disease—which impacts so many lives in our communities,” said Mr. Roberto. “I’m particularly honored to act as chair of this event this year and to see the incredible commitment of our PCSB Bank extended family in awareness for this critical cause.” According to the bank, the PCSB Walking Team set a new fundraising record for the 3rd year in a row.
The Putnam Heart Walk raises funds for the American Heart Association, which is dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular heart diseases and stroke. The AHA’s current goal is to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular disease and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020. The AHA works to achieve this goal by improving patient care and advocating for better health; raising awareness and educating Americans; and protecting the future by helping children develop lifelong health habits.
