Start! Shredding Event to be Held on Aug. 28

Wake Forest Baptist University Medical Center and Cintas Corporation are teaming up to, Start! Shredding, a free document shredding event available to the community on Saturday, Aug. 28.

Start! Shredding will be held in the parking lot of Wake Forest Baptist’s Miller Plaza building, located at 2200 Cloverdale Ave., from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 28. Visitors will be able to look on as Cintas safely destroys their private, personal data before it is recycled.

While there is no charge for this service, donations will be accepted, with all of the proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association’s Start! Tanglewood Heart and Stroke Walk. So whether you are shredding to get organized or taking steps to prevent identity theft, Start! Shredding will help you clear out some unwanted clutter and aid the fight to rid the world of heart disease and stroke.

Start! Tanglewood is the American Heart Association’s largest local fundraiser and will take place on Saturday, Oct. 16, at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons. Wake Forest Baptist is proud to be the local Start! sponsor in Forsyth County. More than 1 million Americans take part in Start! across 300-plus cities nationwide to fund research to erase heart disease and stroke, two of the nation’s biggest killers.
