Mark Rosa 1st Heart Walk Volunteer to Join Grand Club

Mark Rosa, an executive with the Mohegan Sun and the Mohegan Tribe, knows that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, responsible for approximately 1 in every 4 female deaths. As the father of Emily and Maddie, he is working to help change those statistics to give his daughters and all women a better future. Rosa volunteers for the Eastern Connecticut Heart Walk of the American Heart Association and is the first person to join the elite Grand Club. Members of the Grand Club raise at least $1,000 in support of the American Heart Association.

The 2018 Eastern Connecticut Heart Walk will take place on Sunday, September 23 at the Mohegan Reservation in Uncasville.
