It was a privilege to be an honored guest during the American Heart Association Fundraiser. Stacey Dowdle (Vice President Palm Beach Chapter), Robin Fleming (LaCasa Hermosa) and I, have partnered our love and passion for the GO RED Initiative. Stacey shared with the ladies what each person can do to spread the message of "Learn and Live"! Michael Galanas, Florida International Director, spoke on behalf of the state pageant and the initiative to champion the GO RED campaign at this years pageant.
LaCasa Hermosa will be auctioning off the beautiful red ball gown as a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. The gown was unveiled and will be posted on the LaCasa Ebay site. Please bid on this dress and the dresses that will be donated by the Florida International contestants and partner to win the battle that kills more women annually over the age of 25 than any other disease. Thank you!!
The GO RED initiative began in 1994 and has been a mechanism in which the American Heart Association gets the word out to women throughout the Nation. I was honored to share my personal story of Heart Disease and the heriditary factors that women sometimes overlook. One lady every 60 seconds dies of this disease and sharing our stories help others become more aware of taking preventative measures and taking control of their health.
There were many special guest including Lauren Malis, Without a Hitch Company. She not only has her own line of clothing but orchestrates Miami's annual fashion week.
