ALLOY SILVERSTEIN
WILL GO RED FOR WOMEN
TO BENEFIT WOMEN’S HEARTS
Employees at Alloy, Silverstein, Shapiro, Adams, Mulford, Cicalese, Wilson and Co. are joining companies across the nation and wearing something red with jeans on February 1, 2008 to support the American Heart Association’s Wear Red Day event and increase awareness of heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women.
On Wear Red Day employees donate $5 to the American Heart Association so they can wear red and jeans on a designated day. Money raised will benefit research and education to help reduce the incidence of heart disease in women. Wear Red Day is a component of Go Red For Women, the American Heart Association’s national campaign to raise awareness of heart disease in women and encourage women to take charge of their health.
“At Alloy Silverstein more than 60 employees will participate in the campaign because for many of them heart disease is personal,” said Kelly Raso, manager. “Wear Red Day is an opportunity for everyone to remember their female friends and family members who have suffered from the disease. It’s also a time to think about their own hearts and take charge of their own health.”
Alice K. Jacobs, M.D., FAHA, President, American Heart Association said, “Alloy Silverstein and other companies across the nation are really putting their passion into action by participating in the Wear Red Day campaign. Their generosity is helping to heighten awareness and bring about positive change to defeat this major health threat.”
“We are committed to supporting organizations and programs that interest our employees. Since heart disease affects so many of our employees’ personal lives, Wear Red Day is a perfect fit,” said Kelly Raso. “The American Heart Association makes the event easy by providing everything we need in a tool kit. We just pick the date, collect the funds, and forward the proceeds to the association.”
