OUT & ABOUT National Wear Red Day is February 7th 2014
Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. This means women you know — mothers, sisters, friends — are dying at the rate of one per minute. In fact, in the time it takes to read this, another woman will die from heart disease. It simply does not have to be that way. At the American Heart Association, we work every day to fund research and fight this killer so that more women can be saved. But we need your help. Get Involved You can show your support on National Wear Red Day or any day throughout the year in many ways – from simply wearing red to helping organize an event at your workplace, school or local organization. Visit GoRedForWomen.org/WearRedDay for moreinformation on this annual celebration. You can also raise funds with our easy-to-use Wear Red Day fundraising tool. Join our mission to ensure we never have to deny research that could save a woman’s life. Help raise the funds needed for lifesaving educational programs and the development of new treatments to fight heart disease. Help make America Go Red and save women’s lives this February!
