This Bear Cares Gift
Heart health and mental health are deeply connected and influence one another. Supporting emotional well-being is an essential part of caring for the heart. Every HeartBeat Counts is committed to veterans by ensuring they are seen, valued and shown that we care. It is truly our pleasure to give a gift to as many veterans as we can. Your contribution, through a purchase or donation, makes our commitment possible.
Cards for Veterans
Prior to the youth creating the custom cards, a discussion is held to define who veterans are and why it is important to honor them in their time of need. The seniors may be veterans themselves or be compassionate about the cause. Both the youth and the seniors share the same sentiment: Kindness.
Wellness
Our health and wellness initiative includes healthy eating because it plays a vital role in keeping your heart strong. We post recipes and heart-healthy food tips across our social media platforms. Share your heart-healthy recipe or tip, and together we can inspire others. Through collaboration with a certified yoga instructor, we offer a harmonious balance of movement and meditation that nurtures the heart, mind, and body. Eat them in color to ensure various essential nutrients.Â
Heartbeats for Peace
Violence is prevalent now more than ever, and our youth are at the center of it. Our young people deserve to have a voice and an outlet to share their feelings through song, rapping, dancing, spoken word, or improv against violence in a positive artistic way. Although guided by adults, the HeARTbeats for Peace initiative empowers participants by promoting teamwork, building confidence, and encouraging leadership. We’ll be launching this initiative in the spring of 2026.
Community Outreach
Committed to our mission of raising awareness and educating the community about heart disease, we participate in events, health fairs, and local markets. We share flyers with heart-healthy tips, brochures about who we are, offer blood pressure screenings, and provide Every HeartBeat Counts giveaways.
