ABOUT LAWYERS HAVE HEART

Celebrate the American Heart Association’s 100th Anniversary with us!

Since 1991, Lawyers Have Heart has raised over $17 million for The American Heart Association and each year is one of the largest 10K races in the Washington D.C. area.  The 2024 Lawyers Have Heart event will be both in-person and virtual, allowing people across the globe to come together in the fight against cardiovascular disease. As co-chairs of the event, Harrity’s John Harrity and American University’s David Jaffe have set a goal to raise $1.5 million to promote longer lives and have the most event participants ever, both of which can be achieved with your help.  To participate in this free virtual event, attend in person, or to contribute to this deserving organization, please use the links below to register, start a team, and donate today.
