About the Heart Guild of Houston
Our purpose is to further the fundraising efforts of the American Heart Association through special events. The American Heart Association Guild (Guild), is a subtask force of the Houston Division of the American Heart Association, Texas Affiliate, Inc.
The American Heart Association (AHA) is the oldest and largest voluntary health agency dedicated to the fight against heart diseases and stroke. In 1924, a handful of pioneering physicians and social workers founded the AHA. Now, it has more than 22.5 million volunteers and supporters who work tirelessly to eliminate these diseases.
Since 1983, The Guild has worked tirelessly to raise funds on behalf of the AHA. Through a number of events and activities, we pool our wide-ranging talents and interests, so that we can help the AHA carry on its mission to fund research and raise awareness about preventing and identifying serious heart-health issues. Abundant opportunities exist within the organization, allowing each member to utilize their experiences and interests.
