Led by director of workplace experience Keith Piro, JLL’s team earned top fundraiser honors, contributing $132,837 to the event’s total. Their efforts will improve heart health, fund critical research, and save lives.
JLL’s New York region chairman Peter Riguardi is serving as the executives with Heart Chair, helping mobilize a growing coalition of companies in support of the American Heart Association’s Nation of Lifesavers initiative, a nationwide effort to double cardiac arrest survival rates by 2030 by equipping more people with CPR and AED training and the confidence to act in emergencies.
CycleNation brought together more than 200 participants from across the real estate and business communities, including JLL, Fried Frank, JRM, CSS Building Services, Cushman & Wakefield, Empire & Co., Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Newmark, Related Companies, Salesforce, Viatris and Viking Restoration Services. Dressed as iconic do-gooders and larger-than-life characters, riders took part in a high-energy stationary cycling experience that combined fundraising, awareness and community engagement.
For JLL, CycleNation is one part of a broader ongoing commitment to the American Heart Association’s mission. That momentum will continue in May, when more JLLers will participate in the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk to further support the Nation of Lifesavers initiative and expand its impact across New York City.
