Message From Our Event Chair
Paulette Millette
Welcome! I am so glad that you are considering attending or sponsoring the Go Red: Celebrate With Heartevent to be held on November 10, 2011. This event raises not only funds, but also priceless awareness of the many heart-related diseases and issues that women face.
Each year, through the generosity of those like yourself, Maine is able to contribute funds to the American Heart Association and, in doing so, help save lives.
If you are a first-time attendee or sponsor- Welcome! If you are a returning friend of Go Red-Thank you for your continued support. Together we can raise even more money and bring the much-needed attention to women’s heart issues.
I look forward to seeing you at The Coastal House for the silent auction and dinner. It is certain to be time (and money) well spent.
Sincerely,
Paulette Millette, Chair
2011 York County Go Red
Message From Nancy Brown
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 2011 Go Red: Celebrate With Heart! We’re delighted you want to learn how you can advance health, stop heart disease and save women’s lives. That’s what Go Red For Women is all about.
Heart disease isn’t just a man’s problem. It’s a woman’s problem, too. In fact, it’s women’s No. 1 killer. And, tragically, far too few women realize their risk from this often-preventable disease. We need to raise women’s awareness, to protect our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and other loved ones. And ourselves.
You can help, starting today. Here’s how:
First, take charge of your own heart health. Visit your doctor. Know your numbers (learn more at goredforwomen.org). You can improve your blood pressure, cholesterol and other numbers by making lifestyle changes. You’ll be healthier and look and feel better, too.
Second, speak up. Help spread the word that heart disease is women’s No. 1 killer. You can make a difference. Choose to share what you learn today with your family and members of your community.
Third and last, consider making a contribution. Your donation will help fund local and national Go Red activities to support awareness, research, education and community programs to benefit women.
Please don’t leave today without committing to make a difference. Join the Go Red For Women movement — women need your help. There’s so much to do, and so much at stake. Only one in five women believes that heart disease is her greatest health threat. Reducing risk and preventing heart disease starts with education — and you.
By working together, we can help women and their families live longer, stronger lives. Thank you for your generous support.
Warm regards,
Nancy Brown
Chief Executive Officer
