Feb. 2 is ‘Wear Red Day’: How you can support women fighting heart disease

Go Red for Women

DAYTON — National “Wear Red Day” is Friday, Feb. 2 to raise awareness for the leading cause of death for Women in the United States.

By building healthy habits, women can lower their chances of developing the disease.

Some ways to raise awareness:

  • Wearing Red: Wear a favorite red outfit or accessory as a symbol of commitment to ending heart disease and stroke in women.
  • Sharing Your Support on Social: Inform followers of #WearRedDay and #WearRedAndGive
  • Starting Feb. 2, you can support the campaign by donating here.
