Friday, February 4, 2005, is National Wear Red Day, a day when people nationwide will take women’s health to heart by wearing red. This gesture will show their support for raising people's awareness of the fact that far more American women die of heart disease than any other cause. Wear your favorite red dress, shirt, or tie and help spread The Heart Truth.

To help individuals and communities promote National Wear Red Day activities, NHLBI has developed an Online Toolkit available at www.hearttruth.gov. It is full of ideas and resources to help you plan an exciting Wear Red Day activity.
