National Wear Red Day

Friday, February 5, 2010 is “National Wear Red Day” – a day when Americans nationwide will show their continued support for women's heart disease awareness by wearing red. Employees can participate in the national movement by wearing their favorite red dress, shirt, tie, or Red Dress Pin on Friday, February 5, 2010, to help spread the critical message that "Heart Disease Doesn't Care What You Wear – It's the #1 Killer of Women."

The Heart Truth campaign, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, first introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in February 2003.
