C.A. Jones group makes donation to Heart Association
Special to the Ledger
Sarah Jones, with the C.A. Jones Group, recently presented Jamie Smith, division director for the American Heart Association, a donation on behalf of employees of the C.A. Jones Management Group. The group's employees raised money for the AHA by donating $5 and wearing jeans and red on recent "Go Red For Women Day," which invites women to join the fight against heart disease through donations to the cause.
Almost 40 percent of funds raised through "Go Red For Women" is spent on public health education, more than 20 percent is spent on research, and 12 percent is allocated to health care professional education.
Sarah Jones, and husband Chuck Jones, have been involved with the American Heart Association for several years. Two years ago, the couple co-chaired the Heart Walk and fundraising efforts for Calloway County.
