What: Kick-off the Long Beach Heart Walk/Run sponsored by CNSA Community Service

When: Oct 3rd 2-3pm and 4-5pm

Where: USU Room 205 "Huntington Beach Room"

Why: Learn more about the American Heart Association walk that your CNSA Community Service Committee is promoting throughout the month of October! The walk is on November 10th and we would LOVE LOVE LOVE nursing students to join our CSULB Nursing Team, help fundraise through special events and activities we will be having through the month of October.

 At this event we will:
-Help you sign up for a team...it's free!
-Tell you more about our CNSA Nursing Halloween Party at the end of October "Heart Disease is Scary" that will benefit the American Heart Association fundraiser
-Share personal stories on how heart disease has touched our personal lives
-Tell you how you, as nursing student, can volunteer at our CNSA booth at the walk by taking blood pressures and measuring BMIs
-Get you super, way, totally, seriously and utterly STOKED for the walk on November 10th AND help spread awareness about heart disease: the #1 killer in America

Yes, it's super short notice, BUT I know Dr. McGuire's critical care class gets out at 1pm on Wednesday AND my 3rd semester basic students don't have class that day SO I'm calling you guys out!!! I will be speaking and telling my story about how I lost both of my grandpa's to heart disease at a young age and would LOVE you support <3
