February was Heart Month and First American employees across the country gave back to their communities by participating in National Wear Red Day, local heart walks, fundraising events and even making some improvements to their own lifestyles in the name of heart health.
Employees at dozens of First American locations donned red for National Wear Red Day, showing how dedicated First American employees are to saving lives through awareness. In support of February's Change for Charity recipient, the American Heart Association, First American and its Santa Ana employees contributed $1,548. Throughout the month Healthy Steps, First American’s health support program, provided tips for the entire company on how to live a heart healthy lifestyle.
In Santa Ana, more than 80 people took part in the Orange County Heart & Stroke Walk at Angel Stadium. As an event sponsor, First American contributed $5,000 and Orange County employees raised an additional $2,000. Overall, the OC Heart Walk raised more than $1.8 million to support lifesaving cardiovascular disease and stroke research and educational programs.
