Dallas Heart Walk
30,000 Participants. The Largest Heart Walk in the Country.
The Dallas Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's largest Heart Walk in the country, drawing 30,000 participants across DFW venues each year. The event is built around corporate fundraising teams, survivor recognition, and AHA health programming. ESW manages the full operational infrastructure on behalf of the AHA.
The Dallas Heart Walk is the largest Heart Walk in the country — 30,000+ participants raising funds for cardiovascular research at venues across DFW each year. ESW manages the entire operational infrastructure: site design, volunteer coordination, sponsor activations, donor VIP management, and public safety planning.
The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's signature annual fundraising walk, held in cities nationwide. The Dallas/Fort Worth chapter has grown into the country's largest, driven by substantial corporate participation from the DFW business community.
30,000 People. One Seamless Operation.
Managing a 30,000-person walk across DFW venues requires detailed site planning — participant flow, sponsor activation placement, VIP zones, and volunteer coverage across the full footprint. ESW coordinates city permits, designs the venue layout, manages the 50+ sponsor and vendor activations, and deploys volunteer teams site-wide. The event serves corporate fundraising teams, individual walkers, and heart disease survivors, each requiring different on-site logistics.
The Moment That Defines It
“The size and scale of the Dallas Heart walk is really something you have to experience first hand to understand. Nothing gives our team more pride than working closely with the AHA and the hundreds of staff and volunteers to pull off a flawless, meaningful morning for all involved.”
The Dallas Heart Walk has run without a safety incident across every year ESW has managed it. At 30,000 participants, it is the largest Heart Walk in the country. The site operates cleanly because the planning is thorough — the same permits, the same safety coordination, the same site layout process every year.
