The American Heart Association ™s mission has professional, as well as personal, meaning to me, said Pearce. At Del Monte, we are focused on not only helping our consumers lead a healthy, active lifestyle, but also on maintaining a vibrant, heart-healthy workplace. Supporting the AHA ™s efforts to reduce heart disease and stroke is just one of the ways that I hope to help further this mission. I am also personally passionate about the fight against cardiovascular disease after witnessing its impact within my own family, and am honored to serve on both the Executive Leadership Team and the Board of Directors.

As the Presenting Sponsor of the 2009 Start! San Francisco Heart Walk, Del Monte will feature a booth at the Heart Walk Eat Street Fair, where walkers can refuel with a selection of heart-healthy Del Monte Foods snacks for walkers and pet food for their furry friends “ including the popular Del Monte?® Fruit Naturals and Del Monte?® Lite 100 Calorie Fruit snacks for people and Milk-Bone?® Essentials Plus dog snacks and Meow Mix?® Wholesome Goodness cat food for pets.
