In 2009, more than 5,000 companies showed their support for the Go Red For Women movement by conducting fundraising events where employees show their support of women and the fight against heart disease. All proceeds went to the American Heart Association to fund critical research needed to fight heart disease and stroke. Here are some things your company can do to celebrate the next National Wear Red Day Friday, Feb. 4, 2011:
  • Encourage employees to wear red. This is the simplest way to help raise awareness of the fight against heart disease in women.
  • Encourage employees to speak up about heart disease. Ask them to open up and share the changes they’ve made to live more heart–healthy lives.
  • Utilize the Wear Red Day Kit to help plan and promote the day. Simply register as a Wear Red Day Coordinator/Host to get the free, downloadable tools needed to help you plan and execute your successful Wear Red Day.
  • Make donations. Speak up with your dollars. Donations support medical research, plus awareness, education and community programs to help women live longer, stronger heart-healthy lives.
