ALLEN BELIAMY (left) of Boone's Neck accepts two round-trip
airline tickets to the Florida Keys from Bill Potts of Shallotte, resi
dent chairman of the Brunswick County Division of the American
Heart Association.
Still Taking Contributions
Brunswick County remains be
hind in its goal to raise S9.000 local
ly to help benefit the American
Heart Association.
But it's not too late to turn in do
nations.
"Volunteers have done a big job
in getting out some 1,100 letters
since March 1," said Bill Potts of
Shallotte, resident chairman of the
Brunswick County Division of the
AHA, "but less than half of our goal
has been raised."
Allen Bellamy of the Holdcn
Beach area won two airlines tickets
to the Florida Keys last week stem
ming from the campaign drive.
The names of volunteers who
have raised S100 or more were
placed in a hat, and Bellamy's name
was drawn.
Potts said Bellamy raised S355
with the "Dear Neighbor" letter
writing campaign that began in
March. Seventy-five volunteers
mailed more than 1,100 letters to
their friends in Bolivia, Boiling
Spring Lakes, Southport, Long
Beach, Shallotte, Ash, Holdcn
Beach, Shallotte Point, Ocean Isle,
Sunset Beach and Calabash asking
for donations.
Donations are used to fund re
search and educational programs by
the AHA. Both research and educa
tion are the hope for further reduc
tion of cardiovascular disease and
stroke, still the number one killer in
the United States. In Brunswick
County, 47 percent of deaths arc
caused by the disease.
"If you have a blue letter lying on
your desk or dining table, please
send a check in the return envelope
to your neighbor," said Potts. "The
further reduction of heart disease de
pends on your donations."
Since 1924, the American Heart
Assocation, a non-profit organiza
tion, has sponsored research for by
pass heart surgery, lung machines,
pacc makers, drugs and cardiopul
monary resuscitation training.
Last year, Brunswick County won
a plaque for raising the most money
of all North Carolina counties dur
ing its "Dear Neighbor" campaign.
Persons who didn't receive a let
ter but wish to donate may send a
check made out to The American
Heart Assocation, Bill Potts, Route
6, Box 853, Shallotlc, N.C., 28459,
or call 754-5079.
