Go Red Luncheon 2012

The American Heart Association is the primary charity that the Mrs. International system supports. After attending my first Go Red Luncheon, I now have a deeper understanding why! This amazing organization helps to provide resources and support for education and treatment options for heart disease. Heart Disease is the #1 killer in women in America. While most of us think of heart disease as a "man's disease," it is statistically proven not to be the case.

The AHA put on a great event for the local Minneapolis community. The event was held at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center and was a beautiful and well organized event. I had the privilege of greeting and helping guests find their places for the day's event. Everyone looked so great in their "red" attire. During this luncheon alone, over $80,000 was raised for this great cause.
