Plan Now to Celebrate

National Wear Red Day 2011






Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking the life of 1 in 3 women each year. This means women just like you - mothers, sisters, friends - are dying at the rate of one per minute.

National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 4, 2011. Make It Your Mission to save lives. Together we can make a difference.


Why celebrate National Wear Red Day® ? Because heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women. Because there are so many women who still don't know what you know -that heart disease kills. And because we need to keep funding research that helps save the lives of the women we love.

There are many ways to show your support - from simply wearing red to helping organize an event at your workplace, school or local organization or just with family and friends.
