Sister to Sister Foundation to hold Women's Heart Health Fair

One in four women in the United States dies of heart disease each year - more than all types of cancer combined, including breast cancer. However, studies show that only a third of American women consider themselves at risk for heart disease. To increase awareness about the risks of heart disease in women, the Baltimore chapter of the Sister to Sister Foundation is holding its fifth annual Women's Heart Health Fair on 24 February at the Baltimore Convention Center. Founded in 2000, Sister to Sister is a national nonprofit organization committed to educating women about healthy lifestyle changes that can reduce their risk of heart disease. Baltimore is one of 13 cities across the country that runs a Sister to Sister campaign. - Baltimore Sun

Ocean Spray supports the Go Red for Women movement by donating more than $1.4 Million over three years

"Ocean Spray is joining the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, by giving more than $1.4 million in support of the cause. While heart disease is the number one killer of women in the U.S., it is also largely preventable. Throughout the month of February, Go Red for Women brings people together to raise awareness about this serious threat to women's health. "With more education and awareness, fewer women and their families will be impacted by heart disease, so Ocean Spray is devoted to funding research and supporting awareness campaigns like Go Red for Women," said Ken Romanzi, chief operating officer at Ocean Spray. "It's also a cause that is close to our hearts as research suggests that diets rich in vegetables and fruits such as cranberries may support heart health in addition to benefitting overall wellness." - redOrbit
