About Woman of Impact

Every year across the country, a select group of individuals are nominated to be a part of Woman of Impact because of their passion and drive to make a difference. This 9-week competition is relentlessly focused on women’s heart health. Launching on National Wear Red Day, nominees work to build campaign plans, recruit Impact teams, and inspire their networks to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission.

At the end of the campaign, this special group of changemakers will be celebrated for the overall impact they have on our mission and community. The nominee who makes the greatest impact and raises the most funds locally will be named a local 2025 Woman of Impact winner. Additionally, the nominee who makes the greatest impact nationwide will be named the American Heart Association 2025 National Woman of Impact Winner.

About Teen of Impact

Running on the same timeline as Woman of Impact, teens across Baltimore & Greater Maryland will compete to raise funds and awareness for the mission of the American Heart Association. The student with the largest local impact will be named Maryland’s 2025 Teen of Impact winner.
