As part of Ingredion’s long-term sponsorship of the AHA’s Heart of Chicago campaign, Ingredion introduced the railcar featuring the AHA’s “Move More!” message to encourage Americans to be more active.
The railcar, Ingredion says, promotes the importance of regular physical activity as one of the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8™, which are key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health. “This specially designed railcar will serve as a mobile message for healthier living and encouraging individuals to take positive steps for their heart,” the company said.
“At the American Heart Association, we are working to change the future of health for everyone, everywhere,” said Kimberly Bors, Volunteer Chair of the American Heart Association Board of Directors in Chicago. “Support from Ingredion and GATX allows the Association to share this important message and carry out our lifesaving mission. Better cardiovascular health helps lower the risk for heart disease, stroke and other major health problems.”
“We are honored to spotlight the American Heart Association’s Move More messaging on one of GATX’s railcars, which move essential goods across North America every day,” said Paul F. Titterton, Executive Vice President and President, GATX Rail North America. “At GATX, we value collaboration and community. Partnering with our customers like Ingredion to champion causes that make a real difference is something we are passionate about, and we were thrilled to help drive this effort forward.”
“Ingredion is proud to sponsor the Heart of Chicago Campaign and Move More messaging,” said Eric Seip, Senior Vice President, Global Operations and CSCO of Ingredion. “As chair of the Chicago Heart Ball coming up in April, I’m especially excited to kick off the year with this exciting unveiling. Additionally, partnering with GATX to share this message nationwide reflects our commitment to heart health and community well-being. This effort truly embodies our Care First value, as we prioritize the well-being of our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.”
