Broward Heart Ball

Leadership

Letter from our Chairman
Steven M. Mariano | Chairman


Dear Guests,


Thank you for your support of the American Heart Association’s 2012 Broward Heart Ball. Your generous contributions and efforts on behalf of this campaign will ensure another successful year in Broward Heart Ball history. After the great success of the 2011 Heart Ball, I am honored to once again serve as your Chairman.

Heart disease affects more than 71 million Americans annually, and the American Heart Association is the premier advocacy organization devoted to educating the greater public on this matter of national concern. Their efforts can be seen in schools, hospitals and public places that provide healthier food choices for children, cleaner air for workers and for patrons. Advocacy and education for a healthier public is something we can incorporate into our daily lives, from walks along Fort Lauderdale’s scenic beaches, to promoting healthy lunch groups at our workplaces. Indeed we at Patriot National Insurance Group have endeavored to lead by example, retaining our own full time Director of Nutrition and Wellness.

On behalf of myself and the entire Patriot National family of employees, thank you to the American Heart Association and the Broward Heart Ball team. I am confident that with your help the Heart Ball will continue to be one of the most successful events in south Florida.

Sincerely,

Steven M. Mariano
