Message from our Co-Chairs:
Patrice Case & Jo Kuchle
Women worry about so many things: What should I eat? How can I reduce stress? What are healthy foods? Why am I so tired? How can I lose weight? How do I fix healthy meals for my family? The list goes on and on! The 2012 Go Red Event will help busy women (are there any other kind?) answer these questions and more! With the help of our nationally renowned speaker, Deanna Latson, and others, we’ll walk out armed with great tips to improve our lives. Besides a great speaker, all of the fun things you know and love about Go Red will be back: healthy breakfast, great educational programs, yummy lunch, fun fashion and, did we mention, shopping!??!
We are honored to be the chairs of the 2012 Go Red and to continue the legacy of this amazing Fairbanks event. We look forward to seeing you Feb. 17, 2012 at the Carlson Center. Come join us and, you’ll have less to worry about.

Message From Nancy Brown
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Fairbanks Go Red for Women Luncheon! We’re delighted you want to learn how you can advance health, stop heart disease and save women’s lives. That’s what Go Red For Women is all about.
Heart disease isn’t just a man’s problem. It’s a woman’s problem, too. In fact, it’s women’s No. 1 killer. And, tragically, far too few women realize their risk from this often-preventable disease. We need to raise women’s awareness, to protect our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and other loved ones. And ourselves.
You can help, starting today. Here’s how:
First, take charge of your own heart health. Visit your doctor. Know your numbers (learn more at goredforwomen.org). You can improve your blood pressure, cholesterol and other numbers by making lifestyle changes. You’ll be healthier and look and feel better, too.
Second, speak up. Help spread the word that heart disease is women’s No. 1 killer. You can make a difference. Choose to share what you learn today with your family and members of your community.
Third and last, consider making a contribution. Your donation will help fund local and national Go Red activities to support awareness, research, education and community programs to benefit women.
Please don’t leave today without committing to make a difference. Join the Go Red For Women movement — women need your help. There’s so much to do, and so much at stake. Only one in five women believes that heart disease is her greatest health threat. Reducing risk and preventing heart disease starts with education — and you.
By working together, we can help women and their families live longer, stronger lives. Thank you for your generous support.
Warm regards,
Nancy Brown
Chief Executive Officer
American Heart Association
