Are You Ready for Wear Red Day 2005?

Be part of making this a great event on February 4.

On Friday, February 4, 2005, Americans nationwide will celebrate the second annual National Wear Red Day by wearing red to show their support for women’s heart disease awareness.

Take women's health to heart by showing off your red dress pin, a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie and help spread the word that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women. Continue to support women and heart disease during February, American Heart Month, and beyond by using the educational materials listed below.

Join NHLBI and its national campaign for women about heart disease—The Heart Truth—in making National Wear Red Day 2005 a spectacular and memorable event!
