One in three women die each year from heart disease, making it the No. 1 killer of women in the United States. But you can make a difference for women everywhere by attending the American Heart Association’s 2015 Go Red For Women Expo sponsored by Methodist Health System and Werner Enterprises on November 3 at the Embassy Suites in La Vista.
The Expo begins at 4:30 p.m. with a health fair and an electronic silent auction. The night continues with dinner, keynote address and an inspiring survivor story.
Individual tickets and tables are available now at OmahaGoRedForWomen.org. Proceeds benefit the lifesaving mission of the American Heart Association. In 2014, the Association funded $2.68 million in research in Nebraska.
The Go Red For Women Expo is a part of the American Heart Association’s national movement to end heart disease and stroke in women. It is chaired by Ann Bruner, Director of Employee Relations & Development for The Burlington Capital Group, LLC, with honorary chair Anne Nelson. In 2015, the movement is celebrating its 10th anniversary in the Omaha Metro.
New to the Go Red For Women movement in Omaha is the Men Go Red For Women group, which unites men who want to help find a cure for heart disease. The Omaha Men Go Red For Women Founding Chair is Derek Leathers, president and chief operating officer of Werner Enterprises.
