Wear Red Day

Circle Friday, February 5th in red on your calendars. That’s the day the YWCA will join the American Heart Association (AHA)’s fight against heart disease by holding Wear Red Day. We encourage everyone to participate by wearing red to work and donating $5 to help the AHA raise women’s awareness of cardiovascular disease and empower women to reduce their risk. Your participation will also entitle you to wear jeans to work on Wear Red Day!

We are proud to be joining the AHA and concerned companies and organizations across America in the fight against the #1 killer of women – and men. Wear Red Day is a chance for us to arm ourselves with knowledge about this devastating disease and to raise funds that will help the AHA advance its research and education efforts. Learn more about the national cause to increase awareness and help women reduce their risk of heart disease at GoRedForWomen.org.

Additionally, the YWCA is co-sponsoring a Wear Red Fitness Day, Friday, February 5th at the Senior Center here in Lawrence. Click here to see all the details!
