Message From Co-Chairpersons

We truly appreciate you taking the time to learn more about the Go Red for Women Event, the American Heart Association and their mission of building healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.  We hope you can join us at the Go Red for Women Event presented by Healthy Women a Northwest Health System Resource, on February 15, 2011.

In February 2004, the American Heart Month, the American Heart Association launched the Go Red for Women campaign as a critical step toward raising women’s awareness that heart disease is the number one cause of death for women. Through this campaign, our goal is to empower women with the knowledge and tools they need to make positive lifestyle changes that will help reduce their risk of heart disease.

The Go Red for Women Event is an event to help the American Heart Association celebrate the vitality and energy of women! It is a fun and educational event. We serve a heart-healthy, delicious lunch, over 900 women from all over Northwest Arkansas mingle; learn about the number one and number three threats to women’s health – heart disease and stroke, while discovering how to keep this silent epidemic at bay at one of the educational breakout sessions that are offered in the morning. There will be a purse auction for the attendees to browse and place bids prior to the beginning of the luncheon featuring a plethora of unique items. Proceeds will go to fund critical life-saving research and essential educational programs of the American Heart Association for women.

We have an exciting year ahead of us with many great opportunities to further educate the community about the importance of keeping the heart healthy.  We have enclosed sponsorship details for your review.  Together, we can make a difference.
