Cincinnati (March 6, 2015) – As Cincinnati’s Heart Hospital, The Christ Hospital Health Network is proud to support the American Heart Association in the fight against heart disease. During American Heart Month, The Christ Hospital Health Network asked local high schools to help build heart disease awareness by sharing what makes their #HeartHappy through a 30-second student-produced ad.
“Heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women,” said Shelley Spencer, Chief Marketing Officer at The Christ Hospital Health Network. “The Christ Hospital Health Network is committed to building heart healthy awareness with tri-state students. With simple changes in lifestyle and attitude, our future leaders can make a difference early in their own life and the lives of their loved ones.”
Anderson High School won the “Show Your Heart” ad contest by receiving the most likes on Facebook. The Christ Hospital Health Network is awarding Anderson High School $5,000 to help make their school a healthier place. Their winning ad will also appear on WCPO-TV.
Anderson High School Principal Mike Broadwater says he’s asking students to come up with ideas on how to allocate the $5,000 prize. Students will then vote on the best use of the money.
The Christ Hospital Health Network would also like to congratulate Talawanda High School, who finished in second place in the “Show Your Heart” ad contest. Dixie Heights High School came in third place.
The submitted ads were reviewed by an internal panel and judged based upon creativity, originality and beauty/video quality. All ads were required to include, in some fashion, this line: “Share what makes your heart happy this month on The Christ Hospital Health Network Facebook page or Instagram using
#HeartHappy and $1 per post will be donated to the American Heart Association.” The top three ads were posted to The Christ Hospital Health Network Facebook Page where the public was invited to vote for (“like”) their favorite ad.
The Christ Hospital Health Network will present a check to Anderson High School during a pep rally at the school on April 24th.
