Downtown Baton Rouge buzzed with energy on Saturday, April 12th, as the American Heart Association hosted the annual Capital Area Heart Walk! This vital event united corporate teams and individuals from across the region, all focused on increasing awareness for crucial heart health initiatives and stroke prevention efforts.
Associated Grocers was thrilled to be an integral part of this inspiring community gathering. Our dedicated employees and their families enthusiastically joined the many participants, walking together through the heart of Baton Rouge with a shared commitment to well-being at the Capital Area Heart Walk.
For Associated Grocers and our AGives! foundation, serving as proud sponsors of the Capital Area Heart Walk was a meaningful opportunity. Witnessing our community come together for such an important cause underscores the vital role of local organizations in promoting health and awareness right here in our area.
