NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY – We are asking all UAW 862 members to please wear red
on February 2, 2018. Cardiovascular disease in the U.S. kills approximately one
woman every 80 seconds. The good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events may
be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. Why go red? Go Red For Women
advocates for more research and swifter action for women’s heart health. That
is why this year we are asking that you wear red on National Wear Red Day
and Donate to Go Red For Woman. By doing so you help support educational
programs to increase women’s awareness and critical research to discover
scientific knowledge about cardiovascular health. www.goredforwomen.org
