American Heart Association 2023-24 Giving

  • At Gwinnett County Schools, we believe in partnering with organizations that can help save lives and  doing all we can to help prepare our students to become the best version of themselves and have a healthy mind, body, and soul.

    The American Heart Association is a valuable partner in our efforts to create and sustain healthy living in our schools, district, and community. When you donate to the American Heart Association, you join the fight against our nation's No. 1 and No. 5 killers - heart disease and stroke. Your donation helps the American Heart Association fund lifesaving research, advocate for healthier communities, improve patient care and work for equitable health for all people. In addition to hands-only CPR, they provide free resources for our teachers/students to utilize year-round.
