This year’s Go Red for Women luncheon will be held at the Berry Center on Monday February 13th, 2012. The CEO of Methodist Willowbrook, Beryl Ramsey and CEO of Methodist West Houston, Wayne Voss will serve as this year’s co-chairs.

Ramsey, Voss and their teams of volunteers have set a goal to raise an astonishing $200,000 to support educational programs provided by the American Heart Association and the life-saving research it funds.

Attendees will learn tips on heart disease and stroke prevention from local experts, participate in activities, hear an inspiring story from a local survivor, and participate in a “purse-onalities” silent auction. The “purses” will include actual handbags, as well as golf bags and briefcases. This year’s auction caters to all attendees. Melissa Wilson of Fox 26 Morning News will emcee the event and Dr. Valentina Ugolini of Willowbrook Cardiovascular Associates will be the featured medical speaker.

“Go Red for Women celebrates the energy, passion and power that women can use to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke”.To become a sponsor, purchase tables and/or tickets, or for further information, contact Priscilla Luna at 713.610.5071 or email priscilla.luna@heart.org.
