HEART
FACTS ABOUT THE 1957 HEART FUND
SPONSORSHIP
The American Heart Association sponsors the Heart Fund
through its 57 affiliates, most of them organized on a state
wide basis.
WHAT IS THE HEART FUND THEME ?
Hope is the underlying theme of the Heart Fund—hope that re
search, reinforced by education and community heart pro
grams, will lead to eventual control of the heart diseases. The
Heart Fund slogan is: “Help Your Heart Fund—Help Your
Heart.”
OBJECTIVE
The Heart Fund supports research, education and community
heart programs aimed at reducing disability and death from
the heart and blood vessel diseases.
DIVISION OF FUNDS
Of the funds raised, the larger portion remains in the area of
collection to support the programs of the state and local Heart
Associations. The remainder goes to advance nationwide re
search, education and community service programs of the
American Heart Association.
Hopeful Facts Everybody Should Know
/
Some forms of heart disease can be prevented, a few
cured.
All heart cases can be cared for best if diagnosed early.
Almost every heart condition can be helped by proper
treatment.
Most heart patients can keep on working — often at the
same job.
Your “symptom” may not mean heart disease. Don’t
guess. See your doctor and be sure.

THE FOLLOWING LETTER K BEING SENT OUT BY THE LOCAL
COMMITTEE. IT EXPRESSES THE OPINION OF A LOCAL MAN
WHOM YOU KNOW. ' v- ^
February 20, 1957.
Dear Friend:
It is time to call your attention to the annual Hearf Fund Campaign
which IS again being conducted on behalf: of the American Heart Associa
tion, and to acquaint you with the local organization through which vour
contribution may be made.
As the improved standard of living and the amazing progress in
public health and medicine have resulted in an ever longer life expectancy
illness and death resulting from diseases of the heart and blood vessels
have steadily increased. The great need for further study of the many
unsolved problems in tjie fields of cause, prevention, and the treatment of
heart disease is obvious. ^ The importance of acquainting physicians, nurses
and the general population with recently acquired knowledge is similarlv
important. ^
When you make your donation to the Heart Fund, you are con-
tributing to the organization which is doing so much to acquaint all of us
with the known facts and to see that our knowledge is steadily increased.
Study and research must be carried out until heart disease is decreased.

Mrs. Garland McPherson, Treasurer. ^
Sincerely yours,
7h. The.
