2024 How it Works


Thanks to all our walkers, donors and volunteers who have accepted the challenge to help fight heart disease and stroke. We cannot achieve our mission without each one of you.

To thank you for your efforts, we’ve created the Heart Walk Rewards Center where you can redeem points for your fundraising until 6 weeks after your Heart Walk event date. Use your points in exchange for Heart Walk Hero Gear so you can show your support for the American Heart Association all year long!

Earn points by fundraising


The more funds you raise, the more points you earn to redeem for Heart Walk Hero Gear.

For each new achievement level you reach, you will receive an additional 100 points. There are six levels to reach in order to accrue all 600 possible points for your Heart Walk. After redeeming your points, your balance will be adjusted accordingly. Points are cumulative and max at 600 points. Points will expire 6 weeks after the date of your Heart Walk event.
