Heart disease doesn’t just strike in February.
It’s Our First Annual A Red Event in June! The City of Cleveland, Leslie Blake Magazine and The VandiverGroup are hosting benefiting heart health awareness for women. We are happy to include the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Merck and Macy’s as our sponsors. As you may know, heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the US, killing 6 times more women than breast cancer. Getting the word out about heart disease is very important, unfortunately most programs concerning heart awareness are limited to February, National Heart Month. We want to remedy that, so we’re having a Fashion Show, Food Tasting, Silent Auction, Raffle, 6k Walk and Health Fair! This booklet includes our Golden Heart Auction Items available for you to bid on today! Peruse our booklet and make a bid on one of our items. If you are not attending the event and you win on a bid item, we will notify you within 24 hours after the event and give you information on how to collect your winning item. For more information contact Collette Vandiver at (216) 323-6978, Megan French, Director, Go Red or visit us at www.leslieblakemag.com/aredevent.php. Happy Bidding. The Vandiver Group
