Statewide Heart Fund Goal Is Surpassed With Contributions
Georgians contributed a re
cord $964,200 to the 1972 Heart
Fund Drive, breaking the Geor
gia Heart Association's state
wide goal of $950,000 and giving
the largest amount of funds in
the state’s history for support
of Heart program, according to
George E. Smith, President of
J.M. Tull Industries and GHA
Board Chairman.
Smith paid tribute to Atlanta
attorney Kirk McAlpin, State
Heart Fund Chairman, pointing
out that this year's returns
represent more than a 10 per
cent increase over last year’s
campaign, which was also
headed by McAlpin.
Of the state’s total Heart
Fund returns, $428,578 came
from the five-county metropoli
tan Atlanta area, and every field
territory and metropolitan area
in the state showed increases
over the previous year, accord
ing to Smith.
This year’s Heart Fund Drive
saw 97 counties gain over the
previous year’s campaign, 87
counties topped individual
county goals and 70 reached new
highs in their efforts to provide
support for the Heart Associa
tion's statewide programs.
Five counties reached more
than 200 per cent of their es
tablished goal with Washington
County leading the state at 284
per cent of goal.
Additional contribution in
come from memorials, be
quests and other sources
brought the GHA’s total income
this year to more than $1 mil
lion.
The record high income has
enabled the Georgia Heart
Associations Board of Direc
tors to budget support to new
educational programs aimed at
reducing deaths due to heart
disease, and lend more stren
gth to existing programs during
the current fiscal year.
Major support will go to re- i
search in the amount of
$230,201. Grants to Georgia in
