National Wear Red
Day is Friday, February 6. How will you Go Red For Women?
|
Dear
Glynda,
 With the help of men and women like you,
as well as companies and volunteers that support us, we have made a
significant impact around the issue of women and heart disease. In fact,
in the last six years we have raised awareness of the fact that heart
disease is the number one killer of women and also raised over $153
million towards much needed research of cardiovascular
disease. However, our work is not done. Heart disease is still the
No. 1 killer, and there are too many women who are not aware of this
disease and the actions they can take to reduce their risk, and as
a result are dying at the rate of 1 per minute. It’s Our Hearts. Our
Choice. Together we can beat heart disease.
That’s
why this Friday, February 6, hundreds of thousands of people will
celebrate National Wear Red Day. It's the day to wear your favorite
red clothes or accessory — a red blouse, a red dress pin, a fabulous
red handbag — put on red lipstick, or sport a red tie and red socks. Go red in your own fashion to show your support for women. Join us in our fight against heart disease and you’ll
receive a free red dress pin to wear and go red any day of the year.

Help raise funds and look great in red!
Macy's, a proud national sponsor of Go Red For Women, will help us
celebrate National Wear Red Day. This Thursday-Sunday (Feb. 5-8), Macy's
will offer an all-day savings for customers wearing red. For those who
forget their red, Macy’s is offering a Red Dress pin and the all-day
savings to those who make a $2 donation in the store to the American
Heart Association. All contributions received will benefit the Go Red For
Women movement. Learn
more about Macy's support of Go Red.

Thank
you to all for your support!
Sincerely,
Your friends at the American Heart Association
P.S. — Going
red is about finding your own way to take part in the fight against heart
disease in women. Whether it's donating towards research and education,
attending local events, visiting your healthcare provider, purchasing
products that support the cause, or supporting National Wear Red Day, you
can do something special to love your heart.
