On June 16, 2018, the American Heart Association (“AHA”) held its annual Heart & Stroke Ball at The Grand 1401 in downtown Fresno.  Wanger Jones Helsley Shareholder Kurt F. Vote co-chaired the event with his wife, Shelly Vote, and together they transported attendees to Bourbon Street for “A Night in New Orleans.”  Wanger Jones Helsley PC proudly sponsored the event.

The AHA is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke.  It focuses its efforts on heart disease, which is the number one killer worldwide, and stroke, which is the number two killer and a leading cause of severe disability.  Heart disease affects one in three Americans.  The AHA is dedicated to fighting these diseases, funding innovative research, advocating for stronger public health policies, and providing critical tools and information to save and improve lives.

Last year, the American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Ball campaign raised over $71 million nation-wide.  WJH is a proud supporter of the AHA, and looks forward to supporting its campaigns in the future.  Shareholder Michael S. Helsley is the Chair of the local AHA Board of Directors and Shareholder Marisa L. Balch was on the Executive Leadership Team for the 2018 Heart & Stroke Ball.
