MONTICELLO, NY (November 18, 2011) – Helena Manzione, General Manager for WSUL/WVOS of Watermark Communications recently presented a check in the amount of $60,000 to J.P. McGuirk, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Catskill Regional Medical Center.

The amount represents 100% of the proceeds pledged and collected from the 2011 WSUL/ WVOS Heart-A-Thon that took place February 26.

The proceeds are committed to the Cardio- Pulmonary Department at the hospital.

Over the last 33 years, the WSUL/WVOS Heart-A-Thon has raised over $1.6 million dollars in the name of “Heart Health.”

Since 2005 when Helena Manzione became General Manager of Watermark Communications, her focus has been to keep 100% of the proceeds local.

Next year’s WSUL/WVOS Heart-A-Thon will take place at CRMC on Saturday, February 25 headed by co-chairs Alan Kesten of Yellow Cab, Roberta Byron Lockwood of the Sullivan County Visitors Association and Paul Carlucci of the Villa Roma Resort and Conference Center.
