HELP US TURN BUILDINGS RED IN FEBRUARY!

Help us turn Allen County red in February! We need building to “Go Red” this February  for American Heart Month - and especially on Wear Red Day - Feb 3. Businesses can join the ranks of Niagara Falls, the Empire State Building, Times Square and many more landmarks.


There are many ways a building can Go Red. For instance:
• Light a building red (cover your exterior lights with red gels or red holiday lights)
• Hang red dress banners showing support of Go Red For Women throughout your facility
• Place Go Red For Women decals or posters in building windows
• Tie red ribbons on trees


Buildings that Go Red will receive many benefits, including:


• Inclusion in the American Heart Association’s local publicity efforts to showcase the hundreds of local businesses that “Go Red”
• Identification with the American Heart Association, the nation’s premiere health research, advocacy and educational organization dealing with cardiovascular disease
• Awareness and educational programs for employees offered through the year, to keep heart health and quality of life and work as a priority for staff
