It was a beautiful, sunny day to save lives on the National Mall on Nov. 7. Team members gathered for the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Greater Washington Region Heart Walk under a bright blue sky to support the fight against heart disease and stroke.
For the past 13 years, Peraton has supported the annual event, helping advance heart disease and stroke research, education, and community programs. This year, thousands of participants started the one- and three-mile courses beneath the Peraton-sponsored start line in support of the AHA’s mission.

“Peraton’s partnership with the American Heart Association reflects our commitment to strengthening the health and well-being of the communities we serve,” said Vishal Tulsian, Health, State, and Local Sector president and Peraton’s executive sponsor for the American Heart Association. “The Heart Walk brings employees together around a meaningful cause, helping advance lifesaving research, education, and advocacy while reinforcing the power of collective action. We are proud to support this effort and grateful to everyone participating to make a difference.”
Together, 124 team members across 25 teams raised more than $71,000 to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission.
Congratulations to Team Peraton and everyone who walked in support of heart health.
