 About Kanaly

Jeff Kanaly has been named Volunteer Honoree for the 2008 Northwest Harris County Heart Ball, and the American Heart Association has chosen to honor the philanthropic legacy of E. Deane Kanaly by establishing a grant in his name. The grant will support Dr. Kathy Klos as she conducts research for fighting heart disease and stroke here in Houston. The Kanaly family’s support of the American Heart Association began with Deane Kanaly, who passed away in July of 2006. “From the time my brothers and I were small my father taught us about the importance of giving our time, talents and financial support to worthwhile philanthropic causes,” Jeff recalls. “Over his 76 years, he gave selflessly to so many causes personally and professionally. He encouraged his friends and associates to give, and during his long tenure as a financial planner advised his clients to donate many millions,” he continued. The Kanaly family has been committed through two generations in the mission of the American Heart Association, “to reduce death and disability from heart disease and stroke.” These two illnesses continue to be the nation’s number one and number three killers and are an on-going threat to our community and families. Deane Kanaly’s dedication to the cause has inspired the American Heart Association to honor his legacy with the E. Deane Kanaly Grant. The Kanaly family hopes that Deane’s memory and the family’s commitment to this worthy cause will inspire others to continue the cycle of giving to the life-saving research supported by the American Heart Association.
