EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATE IN National RED Day™
January, 2008

Irwindale, CA, October 19 – LA Works selected Friday, February 1, 2008 to demonstrate their support of the American Heart Association Women’s Awareness by coordinating a “Wear Red for the Cause™” event.

LA Works joined with thousands of women, companies and organizations and cities across America on National Wear Red Day, Friday, February 1, 2008. By wearing red and making a donation, LA Works staff is helping the American Heart Association support ongoing research and education about women and heart disease.

What We Wore
National Wear Red Day has its own dress code. Staff was encouraged to wear their favorite red clothes or accessories - a red blouse, a red dress pin, a fabulous red handbag, or sport a red tie and red socks. Additionally, making a contribution to the American Heart Association meant that staff was able to wear jeans to work on this special day.



Why Wear Red?
Too few people realize that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women (and men), but the good news is heart disease can often be prevented. Spreading the Go Red For Women message raises awareness of heart disease and empowers women to reduce their risk.
