About This Campaign

This fun and inspiring event spans generations and brings together family, friends, caregivers and stroke survivors to raise money to fight stroke through public education and awareness efforts. Since 2012, the SAF Fight Stroke Walk has hosted over 3,000 walkers and grew to include more than 150 sponsors.Thanks to your generosity, we have raised nearly $600,000 to educate the public about signs and symptoms of stroke, and what to do in the event of a stroke.

Where Your Funds Go.

All funds raised for this event stay locally to improve stroke education in Santa Clara County.SAF spends over 90 % of donated funds on public awareness and educational programs. SAF implemented an aggressive public outreach campaign for 2016 and 2017 targeting Santa Clara County residents via VTA bus advertising, movie theater trailers, print media, outdoor banner display, website and social media. We are making a direct impact in the community with our annual Fight Stroke Walk as well as stroke awareness presentations made to local service clubs and organizations. In addition, we partnered with the American Red Cross Silicon Valley’s First Aid Services Team (FAST), where we provide training and guidance on how to educate and screen the public for warning signs of stroke.Over 400 FAST medical first responders, nurses and physicians have been deployed to large community events such as the Gilroy Garlic Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival, Cinco De Mayo celebration and the Bay to Breakers race. Since 2013, we have provided more than 10,000 free blood pressure checks with in-depth follow-up conversations on stroke education resulting in hundreds of doctor referrals.

This kind of success would not happen without your support.Thank you again for your gift to the Stroke Awareness Foundation.
