Baptist has Big Heart when it Comes to Fundraising

Thank you to all who participated in this year's Start! Heart Walk at Brackenridge Park. This marked the third year that Baptist was the presenting sponsor and we were excited to learn that we exceeded our fundraising goal  of $135,000 by raising almost $136,000. This made Baptist the leading fundraising company in San Antonio and set a record for the company that has earned the most. More than one thousand Baptist employees registered to walk. Learn About Heart Disease
