Fremont Street Experience to Host 2015 Heart & Stroke Walk and Run for the American Heart Association
100% of SlotZilla™ Revenue to Benefit American Heart Association
on November 7 with SlotZilla Charity Challenge
Fremont Street Experience is partnering with the American Heart Association along with more than 5,000 health-minded Las Vegas residents who will walk or run with family, friends and survivors of heart disease and stroke in this year’s American Heart Association Las Vegas Heart & Stroke Walk. The event, with both a 5K and one-mile walking route as well as a timed 5K Heart run, inspires walkers and runners to take steps toward building a stronger, healthier life for themselves and communities. After the event Fremont Street Experience encourages all those brave and giving enough to come down and fly on SlotZilla, with 100% of all revenue to benefit the American Heart Association. For everyone that flies on SlotZilla from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the full ticket price will benefit the charity – $40 for the Zoomline and $20 for the Zipline. Flight times can be purchased at the SlotZilla box office or can be booked in advance online at www.vegasexperience.com
“We are honored to be hosting the Heart & Stroke Walk and Run once again,” said Tom Bruny, Director of Marketing of Fremont Street Experience. “We will be welcoming thousands of walkers as they step out to support a meaningful cause. We encourage people to stay after the walk to fly on SlotZilla because 100% of all revenue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. will go to the American Heart Association.”
