Cleveland Clinic is offering “Galentine’s Day” e-card from American Greetings to raise money for research on heart disease, the #1 killer of women in the United States

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women and men in the United States.  It causes one in every four U.S. deaths. 

Since 1995, Cleveland Clinic has ranked number one in cardiac care, according to U.S. News & World Report. Patients travel from all 50 states and 136 countries to Cleveland Clinic’s Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute for expert care and exceptional outcomes.

This “Galentine’s Day,” Feb 13, a new fundraiser allows “gal pals” around the country to support women’s heart health research at Cleveland Clinic. The research aimed at discovering treatments and identify preventative measures that will stop heart disease in women before it begins.

American Greetings and Cleveland Clinic partnered to encourage the celebration of healthy hearts everywhere. With each $14 donation, a “Galentine’s Day” e-card will be delivered through American Greetings virtual greeting card product, Creatacard™.  100% of the money raised will be donated to heart research underway at Cleveland Clinic.

Each Creatacard™ can be customized by the donor with personal photos, a message and signature before it’s delivered.  Donations can be made at https://www.americangreetings.com/CCF-Womens-Valentines.
