Help us spread the word on social media!

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, but many instances can be prevented through education and a healthy lifestyle. Cardiovascular disease unfairly targets women. For too long, women have been left out of research, testing, treatment, and funding. Together, through the power of the Go Red for Women movement, we can change this. Every February the nation goes red to unite millions of people for a common goal: the eradication of heart disease and stroke.

National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 7, 2025

Only about half of women are aware that cardiovascular disease is their leading cause of death. Your post could save a life.

Wear red and share on social media to raise awareness. Why? Because losing even one woman to cardiovascular disease is too many. Help us educate everyone with two simple #WearRedDay posts:

Between January 26-31 share a post reminding your friends and family why we're going red and to mark their calendars! Not sure what to share? You can share our Facebook, Instagram or X save the date posts. Or, we have graphics you can download and share (ZIP).
