The American Heart Associations annual Go Red for Women Luncheon fundraiser announced Governor Gretchen Whitmer as it’s 2020 keynote speaker.
While nearly 80 percent of cardiac events may be prevented, cardiovascular diseases continue to be a woman’s greatest health threat. One in three women is living with some form of cardiovascular disease and it kills one woman about every 80 seconds. In fact, more women die of heart disease every year than all cancers combined.
“The American Heart Association is doing critical work in helping raise awareness around and help prevent cardiovascular diseases in women,” said Governor Whitmer. “I’m proud to partner with them in their efforts, and will continue to work to ensure every woman has what they need to reduce risk. That means ensuring women everywhere have access to good, healthy food, resources to stay active, and quality, affordable health care.”
This year’s luncheon co-chaired by Paula Silver, Vice President of Corporate Communications for DTE Energy and Deborah Greenman, Assistant General Counsel, Toyota Motor North America, Inc. will be held on Friday, Feb. 21 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
The luncheon features keynote speakers, inspiring survivor stories, a silent and live auction and more.
