support of the 15th Annual Garden State Go
RedForWomenCampaignandLuncheon.Together,
we raised over $250,000 for research, education,
and community programs aimed at preventing
heart disease and stroke in women.

The Garden State Go Red For Women Luncheon is
the cornerstone of the American Heart Association
Go Red For Women movement and is a celebration
of life and the choices women make towards heart
health. It is an award-winning educational program
that provides solutions to reducing heart disease
and stroke, bringing together over 300 influential
women and men from the corporate, philanthropic,
education and medical communities.

The overwhelming generosity of sponsors, donors
and volunteers has been truly moving and we are
thrilled to partner with our communities to support
a healthier New Jersey! We extend our deepest
gratitude to all of you helping the American Heart
Association | American Stroke Association prevent,
treat and end cardiovascular disease in women.

I know someone was going red for
me the day I was having my heart
attack. Now it’s my turn, it’s our turn!
Together, we can Go Red for the

women in our lives!
