I am honored to announce that I am once again serving on the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Executive Leadership Team in New York City. Go Red for Women is the global initiative to end heart disease and stroke in women. For the past 15 years, the Go Red movement has advocated for representation of women in research and brought them together to take charge of their well-being. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, yet 80% of all incidences are preventable with education and healthy lifestyle choices. Since its inception in 2004, Go Red for Women has raised $600 million dollars to support research, education, advocacy, prevention, and awareness programs.
I hope you will stand alongside me and consider making a donation to help save women’s lives!
$100 Provides information and inspiration to help 8 stroke survivors maximize recovery and independence with a subscription to Stroke Connection, a bi-monthly periodical and the AHA’s biggest outreach to stroke families.
$200 Teaches 10 families in your community the connection between good food and good health by showing them the ultimate heart-healthy recipes in The New American Heart Association Cookbook.
$500 Teaches 2,500 children how to avoid obesity and live longer, stronger lives through our nutrition and exercise education materials.
$1,000 Mobilizes 2,000 women with the Go Red for Women movement and empowers them to take charge of their heart health with a personal record tracker and other health information.
$2,500 Can train over 100 families in CPR and AED usage through the CPR Anytime kit, which can be kept by these families to refresh their skills at any time or shared with others. A donation at this level grants you entry into the Circle of Red, Go Red for Women’s Individual Giving Society.
$5,000 Funds a summer undergraduate student fellowship that allows college students to work in research laboratories under the supervision of experienced scientists. A donation at this level grants you entry into the Cor Vitae Society, the American Heart Association’s Individual Giving Society.
Thank you for your consideration!
