TWU Denton 2013

TWU Go Red for Women 2014

This February, Texas Woman's University will join the American Heart Association (AHA)’s fight against heart disease with a variety of events. On Wednesday, February 5th we want to Paint T-Tub Red!  Wear red and join us at 12:30 pm in TWU Fitness and Rec Gym for a campus photo. We encourage everyone to participate by wearing red to campus on February 5th to help the AHA raise women’s awareness of cardiovascular disease and empower women to reduce their risk.

We are proud to be joining the AHA and concerned companies and organizations across America in the fight against the #1 killer of women – as well as of men. Wear Red Day is a chance for us to arm ourselves with knowledge about this devastating disease and to raise awareness that will help the AHA advance its research and education efforts. Learn more about the national cause to increase awareness and help women reduce their risk of heart disease at GoRedForWomen.org. Find more online health resources at http://mylifecheck.heart.org/
