Newport News Shipbuilding is stepping up for heart health by partnering with the American Heart Association and championing a cause that touches millions. Heart disease and stroke remain two of the leading causes of death in the country.

By joining the 2026 Heart Walk, shipbuilders become part of a powerful movement raising awareness, funding research and saving lives.

You can get involved by:

• Creating or joining a team. Rally your department, employee resource group, or group of friends. Register here.
• Making a donation. Every dollar helps fund critical research and education.
• Buying a T-shirt. See details below to order NNS Heart Walk T-shirts.
• Attending a walk. Choose one of the two locations and represent NNS.

Shipbuilders can support the cause by purchasing a T-shirt for themselves, their family or friends. Contact a Heart Walk team captain or use the order form on the MyNNS Heart Walk site to purchase T-shirts for $15 each. New this year, shipbuilders can now purchase youth T-shirts.
