February

Please join us for the 1st Annual Western Massachusetts Go Red For Women Educational Forum and Luncheon presented by Yankee Candle.

Heart disease claims the life of almost one woman every minute, but there's something you can do to help stop it: Speak Up to Save Lives! Take your seat at the table with other outstanding and dedicated women and men. Hear inspirational stories, take action on the expert advice, and learn how you can help put an end to this largely preventable disease using the power of your own voice -- Speak Up!

The Go Red For Women Educational Forum and Luncheon takes a critical step toward raising women's awareness that heart disease is their number one cause of death. Women who understand their risks of heart disease, and know the steps to prevent it, are better equipped to avert this serious - and mostly preventable - threat to their health.
