Show your support for the fight against heart disease and the American Heart Association by wearing RED today!

You’ll join millions of other men, women and children (even cities!) who will support the cause by wearing red on National Wear Red Day.  And, if you only have a few spare minutes on February 1st, here are two quick ways to encourage heart health in your life and in your community.  Spread the word:

1)  Join the Go Red Campaign at a Let’s Dish! location near you.*

During the day on Friday, February 1st, you’ll see our staff in red instead of their trademark orange to show our support for heart health.  And, we are raffling off American Heart Association cookbooks to a lucky disher in each session!   You can fill out a quick card to sign up for the Go Red Campaign right in the store; you’ll receive your free red dress pin for doing so and can proudly display your commitment to heart health all day (or month!) long.

2)  Know your heart health. Take the Go Red Heart CheckUp. 

After gathering a few pieces of important information about your health, the Heart CheckUp takes just a few minutes and has benefits that could last you a lifetime.  Most of us don’t really know how healthy our heart is, so use this free online tool from the American Heart Association to assess your heart health.  It’s no substitue for seeing a professional health care provider, but it is an important first step towards a healthy lifestyle.
