The American Heart Association’s (AHA) Eastern Connecticut Heart Walk brings our region together annually to fund research and education in the fight against heart disease and stroke—the number one and number five leading causes of death in the United States. Electric Boat’s support of the AHA and participation in the walk is a proud tradition, and one that continued this year in record numbers.
On Sunday, October 1, Electric Boat’s presence at the walk was evident, as a sea of employees, friends and family members sporting their team shirts arrived at UConn Avery Point to walk in support of the AHA. Led by Andrew Bond, Vice President of Planning and 2023 Heart Walk Chair, participants walked the scenic three-mile course to show their support in the fight against heart disease and stroke.

EB employees rallied a record number of 36 teams comprised of 257 walkers, representing over half of the 66 total Eastern Connecticut Heart Walk teams. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of employees and generous donations received, Electric Boat came in as the top company in the region, raising over $33,000 for the AHA—far surpassing our $27,000 goal.
Thank you to all who fundraised, donated, spread the word and took steps to celebrate survivors and save lives. Electric Boat is proud to support the AHA and continue the tremendous momentum we’ve created to bring education and wellness to our communities. We look forward to continuing our tradition of support next year and beyond.
