OBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY
Campaign Helps Raise Awareness About Number 1 Killer of Women
HARRISBURG -- Hoping to have all of Pennsylvania seeing red on Friday, the
Pennsylvania Commission for Women is encouraging the commonwealth to
participate in the American Heart Association’s National Wear Red Day.
Red is the signature color of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for
Women campaign, which aims to raise awareness about heart disease, the number
one killer of women. “Fashionably speaking, red is considered a power color,” commission Executive Director Leslie Stiles said, “but by wearing it on Friday, red will be an
empower color, and a simple way to remind women that for all they do to care
for others, they need to take care of themselves, too.”
