Union Bank Regional Manager Vincent (Vince) Caballero will serve as Chair of the American Heart Association’s 2017 Santa Barbara Heart & Stroke Walk/Run for the second consecutive year. In this role, he will be responsible for overseeing the American Heart Association’s “Healthy Living” initiative with a key focus on bringing new leadership and company involvement to the Heart & Stroke Walk in September. Last year, Vince was able to bring Union Bank aboard as the first ever Heart Walk Presenting Sponsor in Santa Barbara.
Vince is Santa Barbara County Regional Manager, Consumer Banking division for Union Bank with oversight of the retail branches in that region. He joined Union Bank in 2010 as a regional manager in the San Fernando Valley region and has nearly 30 years of financial services experience. He is passionate about the work of the American Heart Association because his mother is a heart disease survivor.
The 2017 Santa Barbara Heart & Stroke Walk/Run will take place on Saturday, September 23, 2017, at Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort, 633 E. Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara. The 5K walk/non-competitive run encourages healthy eating habits while raising funds to support the AHA’s research and education efforts to fight heart disease and stroke – the nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers. Before the walk, participants are encouraged to explore the expo area including the Kids Zone, educational and sponsor booths, heart-healthy food, music, and a Dog Zone, sponsored by Loose Pooch Dog Club (doggie accessories, treats and a water station will be provided).
Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are the leading killers in the United States, claiming the lives of more than 831,000 men, women and children every year. Heart Walks bring the community together to raise awareness and much-needed funds to fight these diseases. The American Heart Association is devoted to saving lives from heart disease and stroke by funding innovative research, setting best practices for improving patient care, fighting for stronger public health policies and providing lifesaving tools and information to prevent and treat the leading causes of death in the U.S.
