What is Leaders of Impact?

Leaders of Impact shines a spotlight on heart health as heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally.

By joining this campaign, you will be a part of a nationwide network of leaders who are passionate, competitive, well-connected and driven to make a difference.

Together, nominees embark on a 7-week competition, leveraging their networks to create an impact in their community. By forming Impact Teams, participants use their collective influence to educate their communities on the symptoms and warning signs of heart disease, raise critical dollars to help fund lifesaving research and advocate for the health and well-being of all.

At the end of the campaign, one nominee will be named their local Leaders of Impact winner. Additionally, the nominee who makes the biggest impact across the country will be named the 2024 National Leaders of Impact Winner.

Be a part of the movement that is changing the future of heart health.

Congratulations 2023 National Leaders of Impact Winner, Devon Mitchell!
