The signature color of Barrett & Company Real Estate is red and agents and staff wear it often. We will be wearing it for a special reason on Friday, February 3rd, 2012, when we participate in National Wear Red Day in support of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s Go Red for Women Campaign. In addition to the wearing of the red, we will be handing out red carnations to clients, neighboring business people and visitors to our office in Concord Center Massachusetts to help raise awareness.
Go Red For Women celebrates the energy, passion and power women have to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke. In 2004, the American Heart Association (AHA) faced a challenge. Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dismissed it as an “older man’s disease.” To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women – a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.
Last June, Barrett & Company Broker/Owner Laurie Cadigan and her husband John participated in the American Stroke and American Heart Association challenge…Train to End Stroke and ran a half marathon in honor of Laurie’s mother.
Please join us in bringing attention to this important cause by wearing red on National Wear Red Day and click here to make a pledge in honor of all the women in your life.
