The Buffalo Sabres and KeyBank joined forces at KeyBank Center to empower women through their recent Women's Heart Healthy Workshop, focusing on heart health advocacy and education.

This event, part of the HocKey Assists program, provided hands-on CPR training, keynote speakers, and interactive educational stations.

Speakers included Anna Heerdt from the American Heart Association, whose mother is a heart transplant survivor, and survivors like Rosalind Burgin and nurse practitioner Melissa Archer.

The local impact resonated, as Sabres owner Kim Pegula and captain Rasmus Dahlin’s fiancée both faced cardiac emergencies.

The workshop highlighted heart disease’s disproportionate toll on Black women, with staggering statistics shared by the American Heart Association.

KeyBank’s Chiwuike Owunwanne stressed outreach and education for those most at risk.

Attendees learned to “know their numbers” and recognize symptoms, while receiving training to respond in emergencies.

This initiative affirms the Sabres and KeyBank’s commitment to Buffalo’s women and heart health.
