Wear red Friday (Feb. 5)!

by

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in America. Join folks across the nation in wearing red Friday to raise awareness of this horrible, oft preventable, disease and help connect people to the American Heart Association.

If you’re on campus, stop by the SEC Commons, Feb. 3-5, noon-1, to donate $5 or more to the American Heart Association. For your donation, you’ll get a FREE “Red Dress” lapel pin! The Preventive Medicine Club and Women’s Medical Alliance are sponsoring and staffing this activity. ALL proceeds will go to American Heart.

You can also be a fan of the “Go Red” effort on Facebook!
