It was enough to move your heart — or at least get you thinking about how to take better care of your ticker. Locally, more than 300 attendees dressed in red kicked off the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women campaign Feb. 6 at the Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center. The national campaign asked women to take charge of their heart health, make it a top priority and live stronger, longer lives. Hosted by WKYC TV 3 health anchor Monica Robins, the event featured inspiration and information from those affected by heart disease. Cleveland Magazine was a local sponsor of the event.

This month, continue the celebration with the American Heart Gala "Put On Your Red Dress, Baby!" Honorary co-chairs Dr. Bernadine Healy and Norma Lerner will host the April 24 benefit at the Cleveland Marriott Downtown The evening begins with a VIP reception at 6 p.m. and includes dinner, cocktails, a silent auction and dancing until midnight.
