Go Red Activities
Millions of Americans will help women in the fight against heart disease when they join in the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement this February. Go Red For Women is an inspiring movement that helps women discover their unique lifesaving power by learning about heart disease and taking positive action to reduce their risk and to encourage women to love their heart and go RED in their own fashion!

The following outlines various activities that were part of the Go Red For Women movement in February 2007:

• Wear the Red Dress Pin to Go Red For Women events or any time. Over 12 million people added the red dress pin to their fashion accessories collection to show their support for the Go Red For Women movement. You can get a free red dress pin by registering here.
• Companies Going Red: In 2007, more than 5,000 companies showed their support for the Go Red For Women movement by conducting fundraising events where employees pay $5 to wear something red with their jeans and show their support of the women and heart disease cause. All proceeds from these events go to the American Heart Association.
• National/Local Monuments Going Red: The Empire State Building Graceland and Niagara Falls are a few of the national sites that were illuminated in red to raise awareness around women and heart disease during the first week of February, National Go Red For Women Week.
