KAP for the Heart to host spring benefit

KAP for the Heart will host its second annual “Spring for the Heart Benefit” from 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday, April 6, at the American Legion Post 707, 200 W. National Road, Englewood.

KAP for the Heart was established in memory of 23-year-old Kieran Popp who passed away on Sept. 3, 2015, from a sudden cardiac arrest. Popp died sometime between 1:30 and 6:30 a.m. His family was unaware that he had a heart disease that could have been treated.

KAP for the Heart is part of Parent Heart Watch, the national voice solely dedicated to eliminating preventable deaths and disabilities from sudden cardiac arrest in youth by 2030.

KAP For the Heart is dedicated to bringing awareness about the importance of heart health in youth and young adults. The longterm goal of the foundation is to provide assistance to cardiac patients who are in need of support for daily tasks and/or financial assistance for medications and proper treatment.
