20 years of Go Red

Advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere.

The American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of progress and a vision for a brighter future for all.

One hundred years ago, six visionary physicians embarked on a mission to establish an organization grounded in scientific research — a journey that would pave the way for improved outcomes in the treatment and prevention of heart disease. That groundbreaking idea took shape as the American Heart Association, which has since evolved into the nation’s oldest voluntary health organization, boasting over 40 million dedicated volunteers and supporters committed to enhancing heart health and reducing fatalities from cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

Bold Hearts — the American Heart Association Centennial — celebrates 100 years of progress and a vision for a brighter future for all. That’s the driving force of the American Heart Association. Now, as we stand on the precipice of our second century, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing health and instilling hope for people worldwide.

Cleveland plays a pivotal role in this forward-looking plan. Since 1960, our collective efforts have brought $116 million right back into our own community, funding research at all of our esteemed hospitals and universities.

This substantial impact is a testament to the generosity and commitment of donors and supporters like you who are truly making a difference in our community.

Your support has been the driving force behind our endeavors, allowing us to focus on critical areas that contribute to health equity. With a local emphasis on nutrition security, tobacco and vaping prevention, reducing risks for women and blood pressure control, we are actively engaged in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Your dedication to these causes propels our mission forward as we continue to work tirelessly for a healthier Cleveland.

communities and transcend the way we live, work and play. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.

Envision a future where the well-being of your family, friends and neighbors in Greater Cleveland is characterized by healthier, longer lives. Together, let us embrace the bold vision of the American Heart Association and work towards a future defined by health, hope and equity.

On behalf of Board Chair Rob Durham, Board President Janine Arruda, MD and myself, thank you.

VALERIE HILLOW GATES Executive Director American Heart Association

With bold hearts, the American Heart Association’s volunteers, supporters and staff forge ahead into the next 100 years. The Association will continue to fuel science and innovation, fund lifesaving research, stand for the rights of patients and caregivers, work with CLEVELANDMAGAZINE.COM

20 years of Go Red

Putting Hearts Since its inception in 2004, Go Red for Women has been at the forefront of addressing the awareness and clinical care gaps associated with women’s greatest health threat — cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nearly 45% of women over age 20 are living with some form of CVD. Even more startling is the fact that less than half of all women are aware that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat.

As Go Red for Women commemorates its 20th year, the American Heart Association stands on the brink of even more groundbreaking initiatives aimed at saving lives and pioneering scientific discoveries. This remarkable journey has been marked by collaboration with organizations and individuals who share a common vision for improved health.

Over the past 20 years, the Association’s commitment to saving and improving women’s lives has manifested in

First

2024 Co-Chairs Go Red for Women

significant strides in equitable research and care, coupled with strong advocacy for inclusive health policies. Go Red for Women recognizes that as women grow and change, so does their risk for cardiovascular disease. The campaign aims to stand as a reliable companion for women’s health and well-being at every age, stage and season of their lives.

This 20-year milestone is not just a reflection of the strides the American Heart Association has made in raising awareness and advancing cardiovascular health. It’s a testament to the strength of our community and the unwavering commitment of funders, volunteers and health champions.

As we look to the future, we hope that the 20th anniversary of Go Red for Women resonates with you, igniting a passion to continue advocating for the well-being of women and ensuring a heart-healthy future for generations to come.

20 years of Go Red

STEM Goes Red for girls As the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer-driven and women-led nonprofit dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke, the American Heart Association’s STEM Goes Red program provides 7th-9th grade girls across Greater Cleveland opportunities to come together and experience the exciting world of STEM. Beyond the classroom, this initiative strives to empower the next generation of brilliant female leaders and innovators by providing pathways for future careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields.

LORRAINE DODERO STEM GOES RED FOR GIRLS SCHOLARSHIP

Since 2017, Cleveland’s STEM Goes Red for Girls has hosted seven events, educating 1,123 7th, 8th and 9th graders from 70 schools across Greater Cleveland.

In 2019, the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement and Lorraine Dodero of the Sam J. Frankino Foundation developed the Cleveland STEM Goes Red for Girls Scholarship with the goal of bridging the gap between student interests in pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers and the realization of their ambitious goals in propelling the next generation towards success in the ever-evolving realms of science and innovation.

STEM Scholarship Sponsor Since 2017, more than 1,100 girls from 70 schools across Greater Cleveland have participated in STEM Goes Red for Girls, all at no cost to them or their schools, thanks to the generosity of our funders.

Although women fill close to half of all the jobs in the U.S., they hold only 28% of jobs in STEM fields.1

Of 100 female students working toward a bachelor’s degree, only three will work in a STEM job 10 years after graduation2, leading to persistent disparities in women’s health.
