Onyx Group is participating in the 2009 Big Bend Start! Heart Walk event that will be held Saturday, October 17th at Tom Brown Park. We have pledged to raise $2,500 to support the event and the American Heart Association.
In an effort to raise awareness for the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk Event and to help us reach our goal we will be hosting the “Toast To Donate” Heart Walk event at The Winery @ The Red Bar, 1122 Thomasville Road, on Wednesday, September 23rd from 5:30 to 8:30pm.
Our event will include a wine tasting of four wines selected by The Winery and hors d’oeuvres. The $25 ticket includes entrance into the event as well as one complimentary ticket for our raffle. Extra raffle tickets will be available at the event for one dollar each or four dollars for the purchase of five tickets.
The raffle prizes include:
o Boot Camps To Go has donated a free month of boot camp valued at $130.
o Synergy Salon is providing a gift basket that includes products and a gift certificate for $25 in services.
o Gibbs and Culpepper has donated a 10% off coupon that can be used toward any tree service.
All the raffle items have been donated by local vendors. We are still accepting donations for raffle prizes so feel free to contact us if you’re interested in donating. Thank you all for the support!
To purchase tickets in advance just stop by the Onyx Group office, 1120 Thomasville Road. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door the night of the event.
All proceeds from the event will go toward the support of The American Heart Association in the fight against heart disease. Heart related health issues have touched most of our lives in one way or another: heart disease and stroke are the nation’s number 1 and number 3 killers respectively, do your part to help in the fight against heart disease.
Remember to come out for the event Wednesday, September 23rd at the The Winery and show your support for a great cause!

Tallahassee, Florida, June 15, 2009 – June has not only been a busy month in the office for Onyx Group staffers, but also around the community as charitable efforts are becoming more apparent. Participating in both the 2009 Big Bend Start! Heart Walk and Big Bend March of Dimes events in the coming weeks the Onyx team has been charging throughout town looking for donations and are right on pace to reach their goals.
“It’s so easy to get caught up in our own lives in and out of work, but working hard for good causes like the Heart Walk and March of Dimes gives me a chance to give back to the community,” said Matt Meinrod.

Onyx Group will be participating in the 2009 Big Bend Start! Heart Walk this October. We have pledged to raise $2,500 for the American Heart Association and we need your help!
Heart related health issues have touched most of our lives in one way or another: heart disease and stroke are the nations number 1 and number 3 killers respectively. You can do your part to fight heart disease by donating your time or money to Onyx Group. By clicking the link below, you can donate by credit card or PayPal now, or sign up to be a member of the Onyx Group Heart Walk Team.

In January 2008, the Centers for Disease Center (CDC) release new mortality data which shows that, since 1999, coronary heart disease and stroke age-adjusted death rates are down by 25.8 percent and 24.4 percent, respectively. This means that the American Heart Association’s 2010 strategic goal for reducing deaths from coronary heart disease has been achieved, and for stoke nearly achieved – well ahead of schedule. A new impact goal for 2020 is already being developed.
