WHO/WHAT:

Volunteers and health educators from the American Heart Association (AHA) will fan out to Albertsons supermarkets throughout the nation—including those in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area—to distribute Go Red for Women pins, answer questions about the AHA and remind consumers that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States. Albertsons store pharmacists will also be available to address heart-related questions from consumers.

To support the AHA’s Go Red For Women education campaign, Procter & Gamble will also donate $1 to the nonprofit every time consumers purchase three selected P&G products at Albertson through the end of November. Both companies hope to generate up to $50,000 for the AHA and boost awareness of heart disease in women.

Saturday, Nov. 5, 2005

WHERE:

Dallas/Ft. Worth-area Albertson stores

WHY:

The American Heart Association launched the Go Red For Women campaign in February 2004 to raise awareness that heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women in the U.S. Since 1924, the AHA has helped protect people of all ages and ethnicities from the ravages of cardiovascular disease and stroke, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers, which claim more than 927,000 Americans a year.
