Hi, Reader,

Welcome to The WPP Connector!

☀️ Summer Event with a Heart ❤️ – August 21

Our Summer Event with a Heart is just around the corner on Wednesday, August 21, and registration is growing fast! This is more than just another WPP networking event—it’s a chance to come together with intention, community spirit, and impact.

We're partnering with the American Heart Association to spotlight the importance of heart health and CPR awareness—and yes, there will be optional hands-only CPR training available at the event!

Here are the Top 5 Reasons to Support the American Heart Association through this event:

1. Every second counts – Only 46% of people who need CPR receive it in time.
2. You can be the difference – Learn how to respond with confidence in a crisis.
3. Heart disease is the #1 killer – Awareness saves lives.
4. Empowered communities are healthier communities – And WPP leads by example.
5. It feels good to give back – While connecting with other professionals who care.

Join us for this meaningful event that blends purpose-driven networking with real-world impact.

❤️ 100% of proceeds support the American Heart Association and the Heart Walk, helping fund critical research, education, and heart health initiatives.
