COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Now in its fourth year, Big Lots is supporting the work of the American Heart Association, the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all, through Life Is Why™. This annual cause marketing campaign is designed to raise awareness and funds as customers celebrate their reasons to live healthier, longer lives – by giving.
During the month of February, more than 1,300 Big Lots retail locations invited shoppers to donate at checkout to support the mission of the American Heart Association. This year, Big Lots customers contributed more than $1 million to the American Heart Association during the campaign, bringing the four-year fundraising total to over $4.1 million.
"We're continually inspired by the incredible generosity of our customers and their commitment to bettering heart health outcomes for women," said Bruce Thorn, president and chief executive officer of Big Lots. "Heart disease affects not only our families and loved ones but also disproportionally impacts women. This stark reality drives our passion to make a difference. That's why Big Lots and the Big Lots Foundation continue to support the American Heart Association and their work to advance education, awareness and research for women's heart health."
In addition to supporting the mission through customer donations at the register, the Big Lots Foundation has supported the American Heart Association for more than a decade as part of its on-going commitment to supporting healthcare causes in the community.
The Foundation is a proud national supporter of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, and over the next three years, has committed $1.5 million to support this transformative initiative. Go Red for Women empowers women to take charge of their heart health by raising awareness of heart disease and stroke as the number one killer of women, educating women about prevention and healthy behaviors, and addressing clinical care gaps of women's greatest health threat.
"As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Go Red for Women movement and the 100th anniversary of the American Heart Association, we recognize the bold moves making it possible to address inequities, remove barriers and advance opportunities to improve women's health," said Nancy Tobbe, executive director for the Central Ohio American Heart Association. "With support from Big Lots and the Big Lots Foundation, we'll continue to empower women to live longer, healthier lives."
Donations through the Life is Why campaign – no matter the amount – allow the Association to implement initiatives such as:
