Transforming the State of Women's Health
Circle of Red is Go Red for Women’s annual giving society, made up of individuals who are in the fight against cardiovascular disease to win. The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement was created to dispel myths and raise awareness of heart disease and stroke being the No. 1 killer of women. Today, the Circle of Red stands at the forefront of Go Red for Women’s fight to save women’s lives. Located in communities throughout the United States, Circle of Red advocates use their influence, generosity, and ambassadorship to help increase awareness of the leading cause of death for women – cardiovascular disease.

Your Impact
Through your support of Go Red for Women we will…

  • Continue to raise awareness of women's greatest health threat
  • Champion life-saving discoveries for women and by women
  • Address the unique health needs of women at every age, stage, and season of life

As a Circle of Red member you will make a direct impact on the lives of women in your community and beyond. You will be provided with invitations to experiences focused on education, awareness, and research in the world of women’s health. There will also be opportunities for meaningful interactions with survivors, fellow members, and community leaders throughout the year.
